This would be designated the wz.89 "Onyx", but never made it into mass production thanks to the collapse of the Communist government in Poland. The first production batch was made in 1991 using a top cover permanently mounted tot he rear sight block with a pivot like on the ASK-74U. This model (which we are looking at today) only lasted for a single preproduction batch, as it was decided to change the design to a removable top cover with a rear sight mounted to the rear sight block and cantilevered rearward. Ultimately only about 200 of the Onyx were made before the program shut down completely. wz.88 Tantal video: https://youtu.be/7rNCFhKXbvY The best firearms reference books: https://www.headstamppublishing.com http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons http://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:23:50 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/95736682-cf11-40dc-950a-d4e039968f36 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
