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

Ed Brown Damara Standard

Discontinued model. Last MSRP was $3995. Ed Brown Custom controlled feed action with machined steel trigger guard and hinged floor plate. Match grade, hand lapped and precision chambered Shilen barrel, stainless steel with black Gen III coating for superior rust protection. Hand-bedded ultra light weight McMillan graphite stock, with checkering and full 1" thick Pachmayr Decel recoil pad. A light weight hunting rifle, with an ultra lightweight graphite stock and special barrel contours specifically matched for balance. Graphite is extremely strong and rigid, making for an accurate light weight rifle. Many shooters get confused about choosing a light weight rifle. The lightest you can find certainly isn't "best". Balance is much more important than weight. We don't try to make a super lightweight rifle by compromising safety and accuracy, even though we are certainly capable of it. We feel you need a certain amount of weight, and particularly rigidity, to shoot a rifle accurately, and you need balance most of all. The Damara does not have a butchered action, or a weakened stock, both of which reduce rigidity and compromise safety. The design and weight of the Damara is perfectly positioned between too light and "heavier than necessary". We have found that muzzle brakes seem to enhance accuracy on the lighter weight barrels, which is why brakes are standard equipment on the Damara magnums.
