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 917 17HMR 70740

We took our varmint incinerating Model 917V up a notch with the added stability and aiming comfort of a laminated thumbhole stock. The Model 917VT has a brown laminate stock and richly blued finish. This is built with the same basic features as our original 917V, including the heavy 22" barrel and T-900 Fire Control trigger system for an ultraclean break and the utmost in shot-to-shot consistency. And like all Marlin bolt actions, these rifles are proven tack drivers. Receivers are grooved and drilled and tapped (scope bases are included).
