Rifles Descriptions

Armscor/Rock Island Armory M1500

The Armscor M1500 is a fairly basic, no frills, bolt action rifle of traditional steel and wood construction. The receiver and barrel are steel, and the Monte Carlo stock is hardwood. In fact, finding a Monte Carlo stock on a rifle selling at this price point was a surprise, but it does make the rifle more comfortable to shoot. Another unexpected feature is that the front site isn’t a blade or a ball, it’s a fiber optic tube.

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
