today i put my 2060'th round of corrosive ass com-bloc 5.45x39 fmj through my Tantal... no fuck ups so far, no cleanings either. granted, this is one of the early interarms Tantals so it was a bit more pricey, but it does have chrome lined internals. it's a damned good weapon i'd have to say, but i wouldnt try it with one of the century tantals(sans chrome) that are running like 350-450 USD now, if you can find one. It slaps the pigs quite nicely. Anyone thats in the market for an AK but doesn't have a lot of shooting experience, I would recommend the Tantal(or similar AK74 platform). All the shooting ergonomics, none of the recoil.
4 stars, would shoot again.
edit: will post pics tomorrow if i remember
