Rifles Descriptions

7.62x51 - 149 Grain FMJ M80 - Winchester - 20 Rounds

Did you hop on the internet in search of 308 Win ammo? Don’t be led astray by such totally different numbers! 7.62x51 ammo is perfectly compatible with rifles chambered for 308. It’s loaded to generate a slightly lower chamber pressure, but it’s still going to cycle a semi-auto and treat any other type of rifle just as nicely. This is Winchester’s own M80 ammo, the military’s go-to stuff for range and sniper training. Its bullet is actually a couple grains heavier than the standard 147 grains, but with its muzzle velocity of 2,790 fps you won’t experience any discernible difference in ballistic performance. The M80 bullet is a true full metal jacket, with a lead core and concentric copper alloy jacket that aren’t fashioned to expand inside game. There are hundreds of better options available for hunting. There are better 7.62x51 rounds for personal protection as well, but please don’t rule this ammo out for home defense. It’s 7.62x51 – it really doesn’t do human-sized threats any favors. This isn’t old military surplus. It’s non-corrosive new production ammo, gentle on a rifle’s chamber and bore before it becomes reloadable. Please be sure that this isn’t the 7.62x39 ammo you’d want for an AK-47.

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
