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

Lithgow Small Arms Lee-Enfield No. 2 Mk IV Trainer

The Lithgow in Australia was manufacturing SMLE Lee-Enfield No. 2 Mk IV .22LR Trainer rifle from 1926. They have been used to train soldiers and many of them were imported in the USA for civilian market sales but also in other countries as military training rifles. The .22 service training rifle, being a conversion of the SMLE, closely resembled the No 1. MkIII in appearance and weight. They were single shot and had a solid barrel rather than a sleeved barrel wherein a sleeve was placed inside the .303 barrel for conversion to .22 calibre (in the manner of Parkerifling). This sleeving work was largely contracted to the Parker company, themselves the pioneers of successful major production of such barrelling. These rifles were still being used by cadets until 1975
