Hi chaps,
Bought a Tantal kit off of gunbroker a few weeks ago and it finally came in the mail. Grade A+ kit with matching numbers, two mags, all parts, etc. Since the trunnion stated it was a 1993 rifle, I thought it would be a ribbed top cover like my other Tantal '93 kit. However, when I opened up the box the top cover was smooth and the numbers match the rest of the rifle. I thought smooth cover rifles were made in '92. Anybody have an explanation? My hypothesis is that this was a left-over part that made it's way onto the '93 rifle as it transitioned.
