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

Josef G. Landmann Automat 65/68

The JGL Automat Model 65 was a blowback semi-automatic .22LR caliber survival rifle made in several models in West Germany by Josef G. Landmann of Holstein or Preetz, West Germany. Around 39,000 Model 65s of all types were made from 1965 to 1975. The receiver is made of zamac, a zinc-aluminum alloy. Like the AR-7, the barrel is retained by a hand tightened nut and is removable. Unlike the AR-7, it has a flat sided receiver and it was not intended to disassemble to pack into its own buttstock. It was offered in different barrel lengths with various handguards, stocks and pistol grips. It was offered in a conventional sporting rifle version and in variations that replicated the appearance of military arms such as the C96 Broomhandle Mauser, M1 Carbine and M1A1 Thompson submachine gun. Total production was arround 39,000 Model 65s of all types.
