I have a standard AK-74 receiver and a Tantal parts kit that I want to finally have assembled into a functioning rifle... Will this receiver work with or without minor modifications or will I need to buy a Tantal receiver?

I believe that the receiver is pattern after the Bulgarian version.

Thanks!!

A company sells actual Polish receiver shells- I can't remember their name.

It will work, you just won't be able to use the Tantal left side selector, which is only for looks anyway. If you do decide to go with dedicated Tantal receiver I would go with Childers:

Those are actual Polish Tantal blanks made into complete receivers.

+1 on the Tantal receivers from Childers. Mine went together easy peasy.

Like it says on the website "everything from Poland but the holes".

I do like that the NDS receivers come with a black oxide finish on them now.

Sounds good, thanks... One last thing!!  Would a Bulgarian AK-74 barrel trunnion work with a Polish Tantal build as well?

The reason why I'm asking is that I have a new and unmarked one sitting around.

Again, thanks!!
