Rifles Descriptions

223 Rem - 40 Grain PT - Winchester Varmint-X - 20 Rounds

This .223 Remington ammo from Winchester's Varmint-X series is ideal for your AR-15 or other .223/5.56 NATO rifle. It delivers rapid fragmentation that's sure to give those pesky varmints X's for eyes. Each cartridge in this box of 20 fires a light 40 grain polymer-tipped bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,700 feet per second. This combination of a high muzzle velocity and a light hollow point bullet produces rapid fragmentation for a quick clean kill against squirrels, groundhogs, coyotes, and other small to midsize animals. A thin jacket engineered to break apart quickly compounds this effect, resulting in highly efficient varmint elimination. Winchester ammo has been loaded in Oxford, Mississippi since 2011. The company itself has been around since the 19th century and has operated as a division of Olin for most of its existence. It is one of the most well-regarded ammo manufacturers in the world. These cartridges use reloadable brass and non-corrosive primers.

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
