WTS: Polish Tantal 5.45x39 sidefolder AK-74 w/ammo -- Bloomington

[IUGradStudent]

******** SOLD ********

Hi all, I have a Polish Tantal I'm looking to sell. It's in very good condition. It's not quite new but it's not beat up at all. Original sidefolder stock (wire-style).

Includes:

Two thirty round magazines (plastic, not bakelite).
540 rounds of Silver Bear and about 100-200 rounds of loose mil-surp.

It keyholes. Google polish tantal keyhole to find threads about this on ar15.com. At 30 yards (the only yardage I shot it at) I would say 1/2 of the rounds were tumbling when they hit the paper. The groups clustered well shooting offhand, though, so for my SHTF purposes it did not bother me. If you are looking for super-high precision at 200 yards then this is not your gun. If you're looking for a really fun gun that would work great for SHTF then this could be your gun. For another $10 I'll tell you which longtime, well-contributing member of INGO member sold it to me without disclosing the keyhole issue (in fairness, from the look of the gun when I bought it, he'd hardly shot it at all).

$450. Gun, mags, and ammo.

Not really interested in trades at this time.

Located on the west side of Bloomington.

What s/n range is it? Especially the letter prefix? And what twist rate is the barrel?

Do you have the box and/ or hangtag?.... it will have the above info on it.

LMK if you will sell the ammo seperately.

For all you homegamers out there we shouldn't clutter up the Buy & Sell forum with Tantal talk, but here are the goods: It is a CAI, the serial is Y002XXX. All my research said it should be in the good serial range, but the targets don't lie. Any future Tantal discussion should go in other forums (you're welcome, mods!).

If y'all want to play around with it you need to talk with Tradertater and his friends
