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

Kel-Tec SU-16 SU16B

The "Bravo" model retains all the features of the original SU-16, such as integrated bipod, Picatinny rail, and rotating stock with magazine storage. However, the "Bravo" has a lighter and shorter barrel, about 8 oz. and 2.3". Now comes equipped with Chrome-lined bore and chamber standard. The front and rear sight are hard coat anodized aluminum and adjustable for elevation and windage respectively. They are both removable and the front sight uses AR-15 style front sight posts. The SU-16B is not a replacement for the original SU-16 but a complement for customers that put a premium on light weight and compactness. The "Bravo" type sights can be purchased as a retrofit for SU-16 owners preferring the AR-15/M-16 front sight system.
