Likely that you had already unlocked custom weaponry on those toons via badges or possibly mace mastery EPP. When respeccing my MM with mace mastery pool, I get that same msg every time and it's just those spider sticks again...
Defiant EU
Quaver: Kinetics/Sonic Defender
Semiquaver: Sonic/Kinetics Corruptor You don't earn unlockable weapons by performing a respec. If you have a powerset that has a customizable weapon, it will display the messages after a respec. You already had them unlocked before. If you perform another respec on the same character, you'll get the same exact messages again. It's not really adding anything new.
Probably a bug, especially if you've one or more weapons unlocked from other things (badges, TF, etc)

Starting a respec temporarily removes all custom weapon options. It never assumes you are still going to have those powers until after the set is chosen (even if it's the Primary/Secondary set that doesn't change).
Once a the respec is completed, any weapon options you chose are added and any unlockable items in that category that you already qualify for are re-unlocked as well.
It doesn't mean that you just unlocked them, it just means you are granted access to them again.
The first time I ran into this was when I did a respec my Widow for the first time at lvl 24. It told me I unlocked some Claw options. I didn't really unlock anything, I simply chose some of the claw powers during my respec.
Another example: The Unveiler Badge unlocks a couple Nemesis gun options, but earning the badge on any character will not actually tell you that you unlocked them unless your character actually has a gun powerset. If you later added a set that contains a customizable gun (Munitions Mastery power pool), it will finally unlock those pieces at that point. If you respec out of the set, the options will be removed. If you respec back into it again later, they will be re-added and the text will be displayed saying they are unlocked (again).
I've been going over all my alts, vetspecing them to get inherent stamina and I noticed this message after completing the respec on my
Archery Blaster.
Something along the lines of Custom_Bow_Unlocked
appeared in my chat window.
I didn't pay much attention as I'm quite happy with the bow he has.
However I then did a respec on my Katanna Scrapper and saw a similiar weapon unlock message. So I strolled over to Serge and couldn't find any new weapons avail.
I switched back to the Archer and likewise had no new options.
I just searched the Wiki and couldn't find anything unlocked by doing a respec.
So... What's this all about?
