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

Caliber: 45-70 No. Shots: 4+1 Barrel Length: 18.5" Total Length: 37" No. of Grooves: 6 Rate of Twist: 1x18 Weight: 7.8 Some sporting rifles are just too good to die, like the Winchester Model 1886. The 1886 was originally produced from 1897 until 1935 and has been resurrected as the Model 1886 by Chiappa Firearms. The original Winchester Model 1886 was created by gunsmithing genius John Moses Browning. Unlike the weak toggle-link actions of preceding Winchesters, the 1886 incorporated two solid steel locking lugs that slid up on either side of the bolt when the lever was closed, thus making a rock solid arrangement for the longer-cased big-bore cartridges that were gaining in popularity, specifically the .45-70 Government. An added benefit of Browning’s design was the action, smooth and faster to cycle than any other Winchester before it. The 86 became an instant success and saw sporting service worldwide and became the personal favorite of Theodore Roosevelt who was rumored to take his 1886 everywhere. The Chiappa Model 1886 is chambered in the ever-popular .45-70 caliber and will be the perfect choice of serious hunters who want a hard-hitting lever-action that will drop any North American big-game animal. The new Model 1886 is an accurate re production of the original with the exception of 21st century technology. The components of the new Model 1886 will be machined to exacting tolerances assuring interchangeability of parts utilizing modern metallurgy with a twist rate in the barrel suitable for today's ammunition.
