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 Firearms 1894 (Antique) 32-40B

The original Marlin Model 1894 was made from 1894 to 1934 with a 24-inch round or octagonal barrel with original price of $19.50 for octagonal barrel model and $18.00 for round barrel model. For extra $1.00 per inch of the barrel the Model 1894 could be ordered with 26, 28, 30 and 32 inches barrel. The Model 1894 was chambered for a variety of pistol rounds such as 25-20 Winchester, 32-20 Winchester (32 WCF), 32-40 Ballard (32-40 Winchester) and 44-40 Winchester (44 WCF). Arround 250,000 of them were made in that time. The newer guns are marked "Model 94" and they have less value. Models with saddle ring and models with take-down stock are 20% more valuable today. This antique model should not be confused with modern Model 1894 that Marlin makes today.
