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

Christensen Arms Extreme R8 19.68" (9.3 x 62mm Mauser)

The Extreme R8 is the Carbon rifle system based on the Blaser R8 action with interchangeable barrels. The rifle stock is made of carbon graphite for lighter weight and reduced recoil and houses the R8 receiver and trigger mechanism. The barrel is made with a specially manufactured Blaser R8 barrel liner wrapped in carbon graphite. The Extreme R8 stock is scratch-proof, maintains its form in all weather conditions and requires no maintenance. Its performance is comparable with a heavy bench-rest stock. It produces over 30% less recoil shock due to the high density of carbon graphite and the structural design of our Carbon Stock.
