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

Other than determining where you will go for your hunting trip, the most important consideration for your hunting trip is choosing the right rifle, and with the Mossberg 817 .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) you can be assured that your hunting trip will be a success. The Model 817 Varmint is chambered in flat shooting .17 HMR and is designed especially for the varmint hunter. It features a 21" bull barrel equipped with Weaver style bases, ready for your scope of choice, and has a synthetic sport grip stock. A Picatinny rail on the underside of the forearm allows mounting of a bipod, light or other accessory. While designed for the varmint hunter, this rifle is a great choice for anyone who wants a lightweight and highly accurate rimfire rifle.
