My first, and my latest

[u/Zedramus]

Guess which is which?

1944 Izhevsk Mosin Nagant with modern production NPZ PU 3.5x optic.
TM22-12 Pro with a bunch of 3D printed parts and a custom 20rnd magazine.

How much did you pay for the mosin?

[u/Zedramus → u/rearg1]

$500 including the mount and optic. Zero points for guessing which one is my first now!
This was well over 15 years ago, and was considered cheap even back then.

[u/rearg1 → u/Zedramus]

I found a mosin for about 450 cad all in. Would that be worth? Good shape too.

[u/Zedramus → u/rearg1]

In today's world that's a decent price, I think. What year and factory?

[u/rearg1 → u/Zedramus]

1943 ishevik

[u/GinnAdvent → u/rearg1]

Those guy used to be 400 when I got into firearm in 2020 for round receiver, and maybe 500 for hex receiver. I shudder to think of the price now, lol.

I am sure it's even cheaper back then.

A PU for $400? I don’t remember ever seeing that

[u/GinnAdvent → u/Brandon_awarea]

Oh sorry, I mean just a regular Mosin.

A PU Mosin is probably at least 1k at the time?

[u/Brandon_awarea → u/GinnAdvent]

I saw a repro for like $750 but that’s the cheapest I remember. I was also just getting into milsurp at the time.

[u/GinnAdvent → u/Brandon_awarea]

I was actually thinking about buying a Finnish Mosin at the time, but I already got 3 regular ones so I kind of stop, lol.

It would be nice to have PU Mosin and Finnish Mosin some day, lol

Both are really good looking, congrats.

That magazine looks amazing on the TM22 and the build itself looks great too

[u/Zedramus → u/SuperSidney376]

Thanks! I'm not a fan of the look of the magnifier but honestly it's got decent eyebox and clarity for $100 bucks.

Where did you get the tm22 parts?

[u/Zedramus → u/surfanoma]

Most of them are designed by myself. Check the previous post on my profile.

I did recently swap to a Magpul K grip I had lying around but I may move over a MOE K2 grip I have on another rifle because I find beavertail grips more comfortable.

[u/Status_Ticket5044]

PFGA?

[u/Zedramus → u/Status_Ticket5044]

Yup! Nice and quiet on weekdays.

[u/Status_Ticket5044 → u/Zedramus]

I'm retired so I leave the weekends for those with a structured schedule. First thing in the morning with the coffee.

[u/Zedramus → u/Status_Ticket5044]

Nice! I'm not at that point yet, but taking a day off to spend a full day there is so worth it.

[u/opiumonline]

Never seen that exact magsleeve for the tm22 before, where did you get it ?

[u/Zedramus → u/opiumonline]

This is a custom 3D printed 20rnd magazine I've been working on designing in my spare time.
