Rifles Descriptions

5.56x45 - 62 Grain FMJ M855 - PMC - 1000 Rounds

PMC is gaining popularity in the US market and has now come out with their own 5.56x45 penetrator round. This M855 steel core 62 gr FMJ round is manufactured to mil-spec and offers great penetration with the added benefit of being more cost effective than many of the American manufactured rounds. It is loaded to NATO specs and is NOT intended for use in commercial or bolt-action rifles chambered for 223 Remington ammo - but it is perfect for your AR15! Please check with your gun manufacturer prior to purchasing this ammo (most AR15's are fine, but it is best to check first!). Each round is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. It is both economical and very reliable.

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
