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 XT-17R

Marlin's fluted bolt design decreases surface area and resulting drag and the Marlin XT17 .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) is solidy built and is dependable and accurate at long range. The Marlin XT-17VLB is a tool for every task, and for varmints, the right tool is the XT-17VLB chambered in 17HMR. It sends a polymer-tipped bullet rocketing downrange at 2,500+ feet per second with a laser-flat trajectory. The XT Pro-Fire adjustable trigger produces an extremely consistent trigger pull with an ultra-clean break. Included are 4 and 7-shot clip magazines. The rugged two-tone brown laminate stock with thumbhole pistol grip comes with sling swivel studs. The receiver is drilled, tapped and grooved for you choice of convenient scope mounting options. The barrel is a 22" blued heavy varmint with front and rear scope bases only.
