I didn’t spend so much $’s as hours on a Mauser project. Probably 4 or more times as much as a professional would have.
It seems to me that creating nice rifles from Mausers might indicate you have too much money.
Edit:
Making nice rifles from Mausers is like doing cocaine…
It’s God’s way of saying you have too much money.
Or, perhaps you just appreciate the finer things in life.
