Are you going to machine your own larger-than-9mm breechblock???

If you plan to do any milling on the toggles, be aware that the Mauser's are VERY much harder than DWM/Erfurt toggles. I ruined two expensive carbide dovetail cutters cutting a dovetail in a Mauser rear toggle for an adjustable sight.
