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

Magnum Research Magnum Lite MLR22ATU

Magnum Lite .22LR 18-inch Ultra Barrel, Black Polymer Ambidextrous Thumbhole Stock Rifle USA based, Magnum Research, Inc. (MRI) has once again expanded their Magnum Lite rimfire rifle product line with the introduction of the MLR Ultra 22LR with a high-tech modular tensioned-type barrel. The modular barrel means that it has been constructed utilizing a superior quality of steel for the barrel which is attached to stainless steel breech and muzzle caps inside a thin-walled aluminum construction. The Ultra barrel took over a year to develop internally at Magnum Research and was extensively tested utilizing a variety of ammunition. When tested for accuracy against similarly constructed barrels, the Ultra barrel outshoots them significantly. Part of the reason for this is the patented heat sink located strategically inside the Ultra barrel itself. The MLR22ATU measures 36-1/8 in length and weighs just 4 lbs. 8 oz. Barrel length is 18. Features include 1 in 16 twist, Bentz chamber, ambidextrous thumbhole stock design with a comb designed for scope use, integral Weaver type scope mount base on the receiver, extended magazine release, swivel studs and checkering on the palm swell grip. The length of pull is 13-5/8. The barrel is black anodized aluminum and has stainless steel breech and muzzle caps. The rifle utilizes the 10/22 trigger group and 10/22 rotary magazines.
