Cost? Whatever your skills will allow and a bunch of enjoyable time. I only do these for the grandkids & nephews. The liners I use are the Redman version. Rust & pitting removal is done by draw filing and block sanding to maintain lettering and sharp edges, all by hand. Rust bluing is done by hand. So, while you don't really need a whole lot of equipment, you do need to invest some time. If I'm not doing a single shot .22 Stevens, I stay busy making Ruger Mark pistol grips over winter.

All pretty much hand made and hand checkered.
