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

Colt Ar-15 M4 Post Ban Carbine .223

? Colt Match Target M4 Semi-Automatic Carbine, .223 Remington, 16.1" M4 Barrel, 9 Rounds, Fixed Compensator and Fixed M4 Buttstock. While the Colt name is virtually synonymous with handguns, Sam Colt's initial revolvers off the assembly line were longarms. Manufactured with a rifle stock and a 32" barrel, it featured an eight-shot cylinder that the operator rotated by using a ring lever located in front of the frame. Later, Colt introduced one of the first practical slide action rifles. Then, in 1963, the AR-15 and M16 5.56mm automatic rifles "made Colts the small-arms sensation of modern warfare." Their unmatched accuracy, performance, and durability are available in their direct descendent, the Colt semiautomatic-only, sporting rifles. They're ideal for hunting, plinking and competition shooting.
