Rifles Descriptions

Bushmaster A3 223 Trgt 20 Ss Bbl

Bushmaster's Target model qualifies as the standard of the line, available with heavy profile match grade barrels of either chrome lined, chrome moly steel, or polished 416 stainless steel. The A3 type uses a flat top upper receiver incorporating a picatinny rail which allows easy attachment of accessory scopes, sights and optic devices. The upper and lower receivers are precision machined from forgings for maximum strength. The upper receiver includes a forward assist device and an integral cartridge case deflector. The lower receiver controls include a bolt catch assembly, magazine release button, and safety selector with indicator markings on both left and right sides. The ribbed front hand guards, molded of polymer thermo set composite, offer increased control and heat dissipation. The pistol grip and buttstock are also molded of thermo set composite, and the buttstock features a storage compartment for small parts or cleaning gear.

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
