If I was building a Mauser-based custom rifle today, ILO doing all the expensive alteration work, I would look around for an entire commercial rifle with a Mauser action which already has an altered bolt handle, aftermarket trigger/safety, and is D/T'd.
You'd also be secure in the knowledge that most (not all) of them have been made of decent quality steel, and shouldn't have any blood rust below the stock line.
Just be sure that it's in a chambering that uses a bolt face compatible with whatever cartridge you're planning for, so no bolt work/swap would be necessary.
