Rifles Descriptions
8mm Mauser - 198 Grain FMJ - Greek Military Surplus - 960 Rounds *Corrosive*
This is corrosive ammunition. It will cause your rifle to rust up if you do not take extra steps while cleaning. This ammo is also Bedan-primed. Its brass cases are reloadable, but will not accept the Boxer primers that are almost exclusively used for handloading in the United States. Looking for a great deal on 8mm Mauser ammo? Greece produced a whole bunch of the stuff back during the 1930s and ‘40s, but their military fortunately never found a use for it. This ammo has sat around for decades while remaining in remarkably good condition, and we’re shipping it out by the case! This cartridge is loaded with a 198 grain FMJ bullet, which has a solid lead core. We have not yet determined this round’s muzzle velocity, but it is reasonable to assume that the Greek military called for 8mm Mauser ammo with a muzzle velocity of or around 2,600 fps. The ammo’s brass cases bear “PCM” headstamps, and their primers are sealed to help lock out moisture that could impact performance.
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
