Tantal AK's that much different?

Well, since copesdist had them available for the best price i've been able to find, i went ahead and ordered a Polish Tantal parts kit. It has since arrived (after only 2 bus. days mind you), and i've been shopping around for magazines.

What i've come across though is this:

"Romanian original 5.45x39 cal. double stack magazines. Used, excellent condition. (Not for Tantal)"

http://www.jgsales.com/product_info....oducts_id/1585

If this is the case, how special are the Tantal AK's ?? I have found the Tantal receiver I need to order from nodak spud NDS-2T from their website

This isn't going be along the same specialty lines as the Yugo's are is it where every piece is only for the yugo? Can anyone nutshell it pretty much on this for me?

No pics of the kit, It's all in plastic and it'll stay that way until its ready to be built.

Polish and Romanian mags are different, Polish mags are better quality. You looking for 5.45 mags?? Romanian mags should work in the wz88.

They're made in Poland. And they have those funky muzzle breaks.

Kokalis did a multi-page writeup of the Tantal in the Shotgun news issue I got in the mail today, if anyone cares. I breezed through it but didn't have any take-aways to share.
