This is the legendary 5.45 wz. 88 Tantal from Poland, the Polish version of the AK-74. It is chambered in the Soviet 5.45x39 cartridge, and accepts metal and polymer magazines. It has several unique features not found on the Russian or Bulgarian AK-74. Interarms is proud to introduce the US-assembled semi-automatic version of this wonderful rifle to the US market.

It is assembled in the USA on the Armory USA stamped receiver, the only completely mil-spec receiver made in the United States. It is made from the original steel specified for this receiver, and is fully heat-treated and machined by the military methods. It complies with all Federal regulations regarding US parts, and is fully legal with high-capacity magazines.

It has several unique features not found on the more common Soviet or Bulgarian AK-74 rifles:

1. The gas tube is floated between the gas block and the rear sight support. It does not touch the handguard. The handguard is supported by an extended lower handguard flange and the rear sight support.
2. The muzzle brake has been modified to also function as a grenade launcher.
3. The Tantal comes with a side-folding stock that mounts just like a fixed buttstock. It does not require a different rear trunnion, but mounts on a standard trunnion in the normal fashion. It can be quickly and easily interchanged with a fixed stock. Most military sidefolding stocks are build on dedicated receivers, and cannot be converted to fixed stocks.
4. The gas block has been modified to accept a bipod. Standard NATO bipods will fit this version.

The Interarms wz. 88 Tantal is finished in beautiful military grade Parkerizing for a long-lived surface with excellent corrosion resistance. All internal parts interchange with standard AK-74 rifles. The trigger group uses a double-hook trigger for extremely smooth pull and crisp let-off.
