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. Safety Cartridge Rifle
The Safety Cartridge Rifle is a take-down boy's single-shot rifle chambered in .22 rimfire caliber. It was invented and manufactured by industrialist Henry M. Quackenbush from 1886 to 1920 and around 50,000 of them were made in that time. Quackenbush manufactured several models of air rifles as well. Steel barrel. Automatic cartridge extractor. The barrel and parts are nickeled, except the breech block that is case hardened in color. The patented breech swings to the right side for loading, and it was not strong enough for heavier calibers than .22 rimfire. The barrel can be instantly removed from the frame, making a handy arm to carry. They came with either a fixed wire stock or one that slid forward for use as a "bicycle rifle" nearly identical with the stock later used on the USAF M4 survival rifle. The original price for the 18 inch barrel version was $4.65 and the 22 inch barrel version was $4.85.
