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
Remington R4
The Remington R4 is Remington's version of the M4 / M16 rifle series, produced in part out of spite after legal action by Colt cost Remington a contract to produce 24,000 M4A1 Carbines for the US Army in 2012. Following the failure of this contract (due to the US Army awarding the full order for 120,000 rifles to FN Herstal rather than Colt or Remington), Remington were awarded a major contract to supply 50,000 R4 rifles to the Philippine Army, as a replacement for their stocks of Cold War-vintage M16s. There are four main variants: the compact "C" with a 7-inch barrel, the 11.5-inch "E" entry carbine, the standard 14.5-inch carbine, and a 20-inch rifle version. A gas piston rifle developed from the R4 (which uses direct impingement just like the M16 / M4 series), the Remington R5 RGP, was also unveiled in 2012.
