5.56x45 - 62 Grain FMJ F1 SS109 - Australian Defense Industries - 900 Loose Rounds in Ammo Can

The Australian Army may only have around 30,000 members, but they need good ammunition regardless. This is the same exact 5.56x45 ammo they’d use to defend the Commonwealth from foreign invasions or anarchistic kangaroos. Australia’s F1 cartridge is completely analogous to America’s own M855 ammo. That means this round’s bullet contains a steel penetrator core, even though the tip of its FMJ is not painted green. Be careful not to take this ammo where magnetic bullets are banned! But do enjoy it for regular target shooting with any AR-15 rifle. An F1 bullet’s strong tip helps it pierce sheet metal and other tough barriers, and it may even break in half as it penetrates soft tissue. At 62 grains this bullet will offer the best accuracy out of a 1:9 or 1:8 twist barrel, although a 1:7 twist will serve just fine. Although foreign, this ammo still has non-corrosive Boxer primers for cleaner shooting and reloadability’s sake. These rounds’ brass cases are also brand new – the discoloration you see is merely the byproduct of the annealing process which makes them more durable. These 900 rounds are packaged in a steel ammo can, so they’re great for stocking up. Just be sure that this isn’t like the other Australian Defense Industries F1 ammo we’ve offered in the past – these rounds are packed loose, not in plastic sleeves!

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
