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

Quackenbush, H.M. Bycycle Rifle 22Short

The third and last cartridge gun developed by H.M. Quackenbush was the Bicycle Rifle. Manufactured between 1896 and 1919 with a total production run of just 4321. It was another modification of the Safety Rifle principle. The main difference between this and the previous cartridge guns was a retractable wire stock that was used on the bicycle Rifle. The receiver is a smaller ligther version of the safety rifle receiver. A hole behind the trigger facilitates mounting the shoulder stock assemble. Two smaller holes on the lower edge behind the trigger accommodate the wire stock. The skeleton grip was made from a 1/4 inch diameter steel rod. The rifle was marketed to boys and sold for $5.00 at the time. For an additional .40 cents, you could get a canvas holster attached to a bicycle frame to carry the rifle in. The gun employs a bolt block that swivels to the side to allow the cartridge to be inserted. 12 inch or 30.5cm barrel.
