Rifles Descriptions

5.45x39 - 60 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 20 Rounds

Hey! This isn’t AR-15 ammo! 5.45x39 is for the Russian AK-74 rifle. The only thing you should own with a hammer and sickle on it is a box of Red Army Standard ammunition! This 5.45x39 ammo is a proper good choice for any AK-74 as it shares the rifle’s same country of origin. This Russian-made ammo features polymer-coated steel cases for smoother cycling. You’ll be unable to reload them, but at least you can pick them up off the ground with a magnet! Russian rounds usually have Berdan primers, though they’re still 100 percent non-corrosive. This isn’t military surplus ammo – it’s in new production condition. Russian cartridges also usually have steel in their bullets, and these are no exception. The bimetal jacket is strengthened by steel, so you’ll appreciate zero deformation that could have impacted accuracy. Of course, these rounds’ bullets will attract a magnet, so be careful about which indoor ranges you take Red Army Standard ammo to.

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
