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

European American Arms PAP

The Zastava PAP from Century Arms is an AK-47, with some important changes that make it a much nicer gun overall. The long and fat Yugo M70 sized forend, and the full length stock. These are brand new guns made from 100% new parts, made in Serbia. The PAP is only sold by Century Arms. The internals of the PAP are just like a standard AK, they are not crude like the Romanian and Chinese guns. The PAP is different from many Zastava guns because the receiver is straight cut, not slanted. The furniture on the PAP is made from stained maple, not laminated plywood, and it is very pretty, as AKs go. The front barrel and gas assembly replaces the generally unused bayonet lug with a cleaning rod and sling mount. The dust cover release has a special button that holds it in the open position. This eliminates the frustrating method of forcing the dust cover down to close it, which is usually a wrestling match. The AK-47 is not a target gun by any stretch of the imagination, but we managed to get it into the Lead Sled regardless. The safety on the PAP is easy to engage and disengage with one finger.
