Anything worth shooting once, is worth shooting again...and again.

Not even looking at wolf yet. Too much Bulgy at century to gorge on still. It really is not that much extra work to clean corrosive ammo after shooting. For me anyways. |

Thanks for the pics, I'll get some up as soon as my rifle comes in (Wed). I was unaware of the upper handguard/gas tube not having the take down lever. How do you all remove them then for maintenance? I also plan on putting a rail system on this one as well, so it will be good to know.
Thanks |

Flat head screw. It is in a captive roll pin assembly. The screw stays on the hand guard retainer. |

What is the length on these things with the side-folder folded? I want to pick up a non-SBR w/ a length of 26”-30” when folded. I have a small mountain (well maybe a modest hill) of 5.45x39 and a nice stack of mags but no rifle yet.

That is a good problem to have. The Tantal looks to be the way to go for 5.45, IMO. |

Just can't quite explain why, but the Tantal turns me on. |

That is one very sexy rifle. I just have to admit. |

And when I vest my flashing sword and my hand takes hold in judgment I will take vengeance upon mine enemies And I will repay those who hate me O Lord, raise me to Thy right hand and count me among Thy saints.

Beautiful guys. I'm lookin at building a Tantal but putting an Ace stock on it and cuttin the tang. Sorry guys I know it won't be authentic but I choose comfort first.
Hmmmm now I just need to order the kit from Copes and then give Nodak a call. |

I like it. I was just thinking about getting a Tantal again the other day.

I really like yours PhreakMode. Thanks for my new background.Where did you get the black furniture? I'd like to get a set for my Tantal. |

|

How hard would it be to change the folding stock to the Russian/ Bulgarian triangle style folder? I think I would prefer that style better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
then it wouldn't be a tantal. trade it for a readily availably bulgarian 74. and yes, having both, i can confirm the bulgy stock is more comfortable. bit i can't confirm the trunnions match 100% |
||
|
AS the above poster said, it won't be a Tantal, but that is exactly what I did to my Tantal kit, some might think it is not right to mess with a Tantal, but i wanted a AK74ish rifle and the Tantal with the chtrome line barrel had me at hello. here is my 74 build from a Tantal kit, based on an Armory receiver. |

|
How'd you get the ultimak to fit? Work of Jim? |
|||
|
AEnemaBay those tantals are gorgeous! nice work.
|
|
|
So now you offer 3 different Tantals?......the top one has wood and a bakelite grip?......better looking finish? I love the one I got from you so much I may have to order the top one.......it's not on your web site?
Any answers would be great......Kevin |
