Buy recommendations TM22 or another SKS?
I recently picked up a Chinese unissued SKS and now I’m thinking about getting one more firearm. I can’t decide if I should grab another SKS and throw it into an aftermarket stock, or just go with a TM22.
I won't be going to the range much, probably only a couple times a year, so it’s not like this will see a ton of shooting. I also don’t have space (or really the need) for a bigger collection, so this would be my last one for a while.
Price-wise, the TM22 Feather is the cheapest, the Pro is somewhere in the middle, and a second SKS with mods would easily end up over $1000.
If TM22 then which one? the feather, 16inch or 18in pro model?
What would you do in my situation?

I got the feather and I love it. I’ve found mine to have no issues with standard velocity ammo or high velocity. It’s a bit of a chore to clean, and it does like being clean. I have had a handful of ftf and one fte in the 2000 or so rounds I’ve put through mine. I have left it mostly stock, the “iron” sights work well for me up to 100 yards but I mostly shoot with it at 50 or closer. I would like to get the aluminum version because it seems more customizable, but I’m not in a hurry for it
