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

Fierce Firearms Carbon Edge

With ingenuity and unwavering determination, Fierce Firearms seeks to improve all processes. With their Carbon Edge Centerfire Rifles combined with C3 carbon barrel technology, they've done just that. These carbon barrels use three times higher modulus carbon-fiber material than most competitors. Not only that, Fierce Firearms uses a unique three-direction, high-temperature carbon/resin system to ensure that all fibers are bonded the entire length of the barrel. This exacting process provides a lightweight and stiffer construction with dramatically reduced vibrations, which leads to improved shooting accuracy. After being heat treated, the Carbon Edge's triad bolt and action are machined on a nine-axis CNC machine. This creates the absolute tightest tolerances possible. After being custom crafted in Fierce Firearms' ISO 9,000-qualified shop, each rifle is test-fired in an underground tunnel to ensure they shoot 0.5" three-shot groups at 100 yds. This premium distance shooter boasts a match-grade, hand-lapped C3 carbon barrel with a titanium e-brake end. This design has 42 forward-angled holes, which dampens the report and reduces recoil up to 50%. Triad bolt features a three-lug action with a 70° bolt lift. The 2.75 lb. adjustable trigger offers a crisp, clean and predictable break. Lightweight and strong carbon-fiber stock boasts a LimbSaver pad. Mini-claw extractor with control round feed keeps performance smooth and easy. Includes one speed box magazine.
