Rifles Descriptions

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

Hunting rifles are tailored to meet the specific needs of each application. However, the MSR offers unlimited configuration possibilities with one rifle. Upper receivers with different chamberings and barrels can be field changed in minutes. Hand guards, pistol grips and rear stocks can be adapted for hunting everything from varmints, to deer, to feral hogs. The Bushmaster hunting rifle offers several inherent advantages to hunters no matter their pursuit. The gas operated system significantly reduces felt recoil, for quicker target acquisition and more precise follow-up shots. The MSR platform is more compact than most, and depending on the application, can be lighter as well. Given Bushmaster's proven reliability in every environment and scenario makes it the ideal hunting tool. In any configuration, for any pursuit, each Bushmaster MSR is a workhorse you can trust at the moment of truth. Several configurations feature the 450 Bushmaster, which brings big-bore stopping power to the versatility and reliability of our MSR platform. Nicknamed the thumper the 0.450 round pushes a 250 grain projectile at 2200 fps. With 2800 lb/ft of muzzle energy it delivers plenty of power for everything from feral hogs, deer, bear and elk.
