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 Glenfield Model 15
The Marlin Glenfield Model 15 was a redesigned Marlin Model 100. It differs from the Model 100 in a few details. The stock was made in the Monte Carlo style instead of pistol grip, but it was still made from walnut. A ramp front sight replaced the old bead sight. The barrel was 2 inches shorter - 22" instead of 24" and the receiver was grooved for tip-off style scope rings. A thumb safety with a red cocking indicator was installed along with a redesigned extractor on the bolt. The Glenfield brand of guns was made by Marlin in the late 1950's in order to provide large retail stores of that time as SEARS, Walmart, TG&Y, Western Auto, K-Mart with cheaper versions of Marlin guns. Big retail stores demanded cheaper guns from manufacturers. Marlin made cheaper versions of it's standard models and delivered them under the Glenfield brand as not to compete with it's own Marlin guns in the little gun shops accros America. To be able to offer Glenfield guns at a lower price, Marlin used many small cost-saving measures on these guns. A cheaper stock wood, no checkering, fixed sights instead of adjustable sights and other cost-saving techniques were used. Parts of Glenfield and Marlin guns are almost universally interchangeable.
