Rifles Descriptions

Big Horn Armory AR500

The AR500 is an AR rifle like no other. Chambered in 500 Auto Max, our ground-breaking AR500 Rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. We were not content with the big bore cartridge offerings available in the AR platform, so we made our own. The logical choice was something to match the power and versatility of our Model 89 Lever Action in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500S&W magnum to feed in an semi-automatic rifle. Our bold AR design and big bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a pleasant shooting, rapid firing, versatile rifle. This combination of size, familiar manual-of-arms, available accessories and energy on target make the AR500 Rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in a braced-pistol configuration!

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
