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
GAMO Shadow 1000 Air Rifle
The Shadow 1000 is an all-black rifle with synthetic stock and dark black metal finish. It features adjustable open sights with bright fiber optic tubes that enhance the sight picture in most lighting conditions. It has an installed scope stop, which is an indication that Gamo expects many customers to mount a scope. The Shadow is a hair longer than 43.25" and a whisker over 6 lbs., making it a small-to-medium-sized air rifle. Cocking effort is just 28 lbs., which is on the low side for the advertised power (1,000 feet per second with .177 lead pellets). The synthetic stock is smooth, yet not at all slippery. A pebble-grain surface on the pistol grip and where the off hand rests under the forearm provides extra protection against slipping. The stock pull (distance from the center of the butt to the trigger) is 13-7/8", which is on the short side of normal for a modern adult male. That means the rifle will fit and feel comfortable to most average-sized adults.
