Polish Tantal Barrel Markings

jeo556 · 12-17-2009, 05:48 PM

Does anyone know if a original Polish Tantal barrel would have a matching serial number to the trunnion, dust cover, bolt carrier, ect...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Don't believe they carry a serial number. At least mine doesn't.

I have a Tantal that was built for me and the builder was building two at the same time. I've already been given the incorrect bolt carrier, (thankfuly I realized it before the builder mailer the other gun out) so I was wondering if he pinned the wrong barrel into my build. My serial number is XX31 and there's a "71" stamped on the top of the barrel, beneth the gas tube and upper foreend of the gun. Since I was really hoping to have a all matching serial # gun I'd be really jacked off if I was given the incorrect barrel. Thanks for checking.
Merry Christmas.

Not a problem - I see what you're talking about - mine is stamped in front of the RSB with several numbers None of them match the gun, nor the year it was made, mine was built from an all matching parts kit with the original barrel. Do you know if the builder headspaced it?

I was told that he headspaced it. I hope he did as I understand it wouldn't be too safe if he hadn't. I havent shot the gun yet so I have my fingers crossed that the gun functions reliably. I'll keep you posted. Take care.
