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

INLAND M1 A1 Paratrooper Carbine Type III

The M1 A1 Paratrooper Carbine was developed after a request for a compact and light infantry arm for airborne troops in WWII. The M1 A1 was made from 1942 to 1945 by Inland Division of General Motors. Arround 140,000 of them were made. They were originally issued to the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions but were later issued to all army airborne units and the US Marine Corps. The M1 A1 Paratrooper Carbine was made three types. Type I and II worth 75% more than Type III. Type III is easy to recognize because it is the only Type that has bayonet lug on the barrel.
