Rifles Descriptions

5.56x45 - 55 Grain FMJ - Winchester USA - 1000 Rounds

The AR-15 is a fantastic firearm, the American’s rifle of choice because Americans know their rifles. A lot of our customers have dozens of AR-15s and can build one while they’re hanging upside and blindfolded. Just as many have bought their very first AR-15s and are still getting the hang of them. We recommend Winchester’s basic 5.56x45 ammo to both types of shooters and everyone else in between! This American-made ammunition is exactly what you want for the range. It’s also a fine choice for home defense even if its 55 grain full metal jacket bullet doesn’t expand, because with a muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps it’s still going to deal damage however you define “damage.” Each round’s bullet consists of a solid lead core, a copper alloy jacket that is consistently thick all around for decent in-flight stability, and nothing else. There is no steel in this ammo’s bullet that could trip up a magnet – it’s ready for action at indoor ranges! Winchester’s solid brass cases are similarly nonmagnetic and ideal for handloading. Their noncorrosive Boxer primers demand no special cleaning, and their clean-burning propellant keeps an action and barrel relatively clear of residue until you get back home to scrub out your rifle. This ammo is bulk packaged 1,000 rounds to a case, with no other packaging apart from its plastic bag and outer shell of cardboard.

Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294

The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
