Welcome to the Fire.

Sounds like you're gonna spend more than the finished piece will be worth, but what else is new with custom builds.

Jkob here on the Fire is a good Mauser smith; lot of good smiths don't like to fool with those guns. Send him a PM.

My take: find a Mauser smith and run those questions by him. Smiths don't generally make "easy money", it's a lot of work. And, as they say, never mind the mule, just load the wagon.... blush

Good luck creating the "perfect shooter".... grin
