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 Puma Stainless Round Barrel PUM56003

The Puma XP features a tube feed magazine in addition to the traditional loading gate located on the receiver. The XP is designed around the Hornady LEVERevolution ammo that not only provides FlexTip bullets for safe tube feed magazine use, but also produces muzzle velocities approaching center fire rifle ammo - in a pistol caliber cartridge! This combination offers a superior hunting package for deer and hogs in dense woods or heavy brush conditions.
