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

CZ 550 Western Sonoran

The rifle that inspired the Western Series, the Sonoran is ideal for stalking mulies through a desert vally or taking elk across a canyon. The Sonoran comes in at under 8lbs thanks to its Manners 100% carbon fiber stock and fluted barrel. Meant to take a licking, the Sonoran is ferritic nitrocarburized inside and out, meaning this rifle is near impervious to wear as well as corrosion. Not only does the surface treatment bring the hardness up to a Rockwell of 72, it also increases lubricity, meaning a little oil keeps the Sonoran running smooth as butter. Clad in its olive drab carbon fiber stock, it s the rifle built to weather the toughest hunts on the planet. Magnum chamberings wear a fluted, 26-inch barrel in a #4 contour, while non-magnums have a 24-inch #3. Besides its extreme corrosion and wear resistance, this surface treatment more than doubles the barrel's expected life. It also features an adjustable single-set trigger.When combined with the right ammo and a good scope/mount combination, the Sonoran is guaranteed to shoot 1 MOA or better.
