I have received my to parts kits for a Romanian '70s M-63 and a Polish Tantal. I have sent away for the No Dak Spud receivers. I'm looking at gatting the compliance parts in hand. As these will be my first builds, I have been cincerned that the Tapco parts may not fit the 5.45X39 Tantal. In comparing the gas piston between the Romanian and the Polish, I find that the Tantal piston is shorter that the Romanian (also pulled my Romanian SAR-2, both Romanians are the same length).
Anyone have any experience with the Tantal? What did you do for compliance parts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW: The Tantal is all matching, great grey phosphate finish, mostly demilled; The Romanian is matching from two different guns, main rifle parts match, fire control parts match themselves but not the rifle, rifle shows finish wear. Both have great bores.
