I know two things that Ian didn't mention in his video on the wz.88.
The lower handguard came in more colors than the orange he mentions. You can see the orange on my bayonet and a more wine color on my handguard.
I know my handguard is a proper wz.88 handguard because it's number matched to the other parts in my kit.
Next, he uses a steel magazine. While this was unique to the Poles, it's not the definitive wz.88 magazine. Poland went in with Bulgaria and developed the black plastic one shown here.
That got them out of paying either The USSR or East Germany for the "bakelite" magazines and it was a definite upgrade from the steel one.
Bonus third thing! Any single-hook AK trigger will work in the Tantal if you're making a semi-auto, with a small modification for the trigger return spring.
The scope mount wasn't intended to just be an early item. Some small percentage were meant to be made continuously for the issue and mounting of night vision. The ending of The Cold War and the transition to the Beryl nixed that idea.
If you happen to have an old PZO NSP-3 or PCO PCS-5 optic you're sick of owning... Drop me an email. They don't even have to be functional, I just want them for pictures!
