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

Marlin 1881

This is a very good Marlin Model 81 in 40-60 caliber rifle with a 28” barrel and shotgun butt. It has an adjustable set trigger and Lyman rear tang sight. It retains 45% blue with very good mechanical function and a very good bright bore with strong rifling but does have some dark frosting. Most 40 caliber bores are not very nice. The wood is very good with only a couple of minor dings. The serial number is 7179 and is an early 2nd model, made in 1883.
