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
Howa Axiom Varminter HWK96101
The Howa/Axiom uses a cam and spring absorber in the pistol grip & another heavy spring in the stock tube. Both systems are separate units from the forend, allowing the stock to absorb recoil on impact. The Howa M-1500 offers as standard many features found in much more expensive rifles, like a forged receiver and forged, one-piece bolt that are both ported for safety, a three position safety, a one-piece guard and magazine box with hinged floor plate. The bolt also features two locking lugs and an M-16 style extractor.
