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
La Coruna 1943 Spanish Mauser Short Rifle
The Fabrica Nacional de Armas in Oviedo, Spain has been manufacturing Model 1893 since 1896 and Model 1916 from 1915 to 1943. In 1943 production of old Model 1916 stopped and in 1943 Fabrica De Armas La Coruna started to manufacture 98-type Mauser, the Fusil Espanol Modelo 1943 chambered for the 7.92x57mm (8mm Mauser) cartridge. It was adopted the same year by Spanish Army. Like all such rifles the M43 has the large ring 98-type action and is considered extremely durable. Supplies of German weapons during the war had led to the decision to adopt the 7.92 calibre round to replace the 7mm used since the 1890s. The rifle itself is based on the Standard Short Modell rifles that had been obtained from Germany in the early 1930s in the old 7mm. An unusual feature is the auxilliary bayonet lug mounted on top of the standard 'H' lug to allow use of the older pattern bayonets as well as the 84/98 clone German type bayos for the M43.
