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

Ruger 44 International

The Ruger .44 Magnum Carbine known as the "International" for its European style full length "Mannlicher style" stock. Ruger's very first rifle, the semi-auto Model 44 was designed in 1959 as a handy, hard-hitting carbine meant for deer-sized game at medium to short ranges. It is a gas operated weapon with a short stroke piston and rotating bolt that locks the breech. The receiver is milled from a block of ordnance steel to ensure it has the needed strength. The internal tubular magazine has a capacity of 4-rounds and is loaded from below in the manner of many popular shotguns. The barrel measures 18-1/2" in length and is fitted with a folding rear sight and gold bead front sight. The receiver and barrel are factory drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The stock is American black walnut and features a shotgun style buttplate, factory swivels, grip cap, and polished steel nose cap.
