Built from Polish FB Radom (Circle 11) wz.88 Tantal components with a trunnion dated 1993, this rifle reflects the pattern’s military pedigree. Century Arms assembled these parts into a semi-automatic configuration while preserving key Tantal details collectors recognize.
The stamped-steel receiver wears a gray enamel paint finish and uses a long-stroke gas piston with a rotating bolt. Controls include a right-side selector safety that follows the pattern’s layout.
Sighting equipment consists of a tangent rear leaf and a hoodless front post, plus the Tantal’s flip-up grenade sight with gas cutoff. The front-sight block features a lightening hole, and the spigot-type multifunction muzzle device is configured for the wz.88 rifle-grenade system pattern.
The furniture is true to type with a polymer upper handguard and a laminated-wood lower handguard with longitudinal vents. The right-side-folding triangular steel stock has a ribbed metal buttpad and a 12.0 inch length of pull.
Chambered in 5.45x39mm with a 16 inch barrel, the rifle feeds from standard AK-pattern 5.45 magazines. Capacity is 30+1, and this example includes one 30-round polymer magazine.
