223 Rem - 50 Grain JHP - Remington UMC - 50 Rounds

It’d be great if Colt or Daniel Defense or Radical Firearms could just go ahead and invent an AR-15 that doesn’t need ammunition already. But until the gun boys pick up the slack and give us all what we truly need, we’re going to have to make due with Remington’s UMC 223 Rem ammo. Ammo like this is hardly a compromise, of course. It’s loaded according to Remington’s typical tight specs, assembled with high quality brass cases, non-corrosive primers, and clean burning propellant, and thoroughly inspected for quality before shipping out across the country. And its bullet makes it versatile. At 50 grains its muzzle velocity is supercharged to 3,425 fps, granting it a flat trajectory and a ton of energy to deliver at close range. As a JHP its jacket prevents it from becoming torn to pieces by high velocity impact, and its nose cavity promotes disastrous terminal expansion. All in all, we’d be thrilled to have ammo like this for a coyote hunt, home defense, or prepping. We’d be all ready until the infinite ammo AR finally hits the market in 20XX.

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
