I don't understand spending thousands on a custom Mauser but not wanting to pay much for reloading equipment. Your call, none of my business.
wheelnut: If you’re addressing me (OP) with this comment, I don’t intend to spend thousands building a custom Mauser. I would certainly consider purchasing a previously built (used) Mauser-based custom (1909 Argentine, K98, VZ24, Obendorf, or FN Mauser) if the price was right and if it had all, or nearly all, the features I was looking for. I’ve yet to make a decision, but with the help of the great members of this forum, I’m weighing my options. I’m not in a hurry either.
As far as not wanting to pay much for reloading equipment, I see nothing wrong with purchasing used reloading equipment. Why pay retail when you can save a good chunk of change by buying used equipment that is perfectly serviceable?
