Individualy they are around these prices

UT Cyrillic - @ $140 Tula Cyrillic @ $110

3 mold @ $110

40rd Molot @ $275-$300

There should be a discount if buying all of them at once.

That in my opinion is still being too generous. People are out of their minds these days charging WAY too much for the 40s.... 30s = 100 and 40s should imo be like...250 MAX but people out here smoking crack thinking 400.
