Glad to hear.

What's the information on your triggerguard tag (model #, barrel info, date of mfg)??

I recently purchased a Tantal from Centerfire Systems that fired and functioned flawlessly. Model # RI-1594-x with 1:8 twist, 4-groove barrel built on 8/26/09, serial Y0020xx.

Here's a link to my Tantal Review with some pics.

Sorry, wasn't clear about the numbers needed.

The numbers on the side of the trunnion are meaningless when built on a US receiver (except to see if is was built using a matching numbers kit).

If your rifle had a tag on the triggerguard, that will contain the model number, barrel configuration, date of build and serial number of the US receiver. That's the info I'm interested in learning about. A partial serial # is great (i.e. Y1234xx or TTL1234xx, etc.). If you don't have the triggerguard tag, the model # will be on the box.

I'm presuming it might be a model RI-1594-X with the 1:8 barrel, like mine.
