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

Hammerli 850 Air Magnum 465.01.01

The Hämmerli 850 Air Magnum is a high-tech, fixed barrel, 8-shot rifle that features a uniform, rapid rate of fire. The bolt-action feeds the pellet directly into the barrel, resulting in precise long-distance shooting with minimal velocity reduction. This new Carbine version uses two 12-gram-cartridges within an adapter. The beech stock has a checkered grip and foreend and also a rubber butt-plate. The Hämmerli 850 Air Magnum Carbine is designed for scope use only and therefore has no open sights, but is equipped with sling swivels for attaching a rifle sling.
