Well.....that pretty much sums up my sentiments before I had started this project. However, as I mentioned earlier, once I really got into working on this Mauser I quickly discoved a whole new world of possibilities as to the custom options available.
It quickly became clear to me that if I was going to continue to put my time and energy into acquiring a fine custom Mauser to meet my desires that I was either going to have to work with a top custom builder, which could take years and many thousands of dollars...or find some alternate way of acquiring what I was looking for...
Basically, at this point I had now moved to the stage where I admitted to myself that my expectations were far above my building abilities. This meant it was time to figure out how I could get my hands on great custom Mauser for the cheapest price possible...
Just to give an idea of the types of Mausers, and the types of builders that began to attract my attention, here are a few of the master customer builders and links to some of their best work....
