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 GB

The Mini-14 is a lightweight, semi-automatic rifle chambered in .223 Remington manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. and first introduced in 1973. It was designed and intended for military, police and civilian/sporting use. The name Mini-14 was coined because it resembles a smaller version of the military M14 rifle. It utilizes a rotating bolt and a self-cleaning, fixed-piston gas system similar to an M1 rifle. Since its introduction it has been released in many different calibers and variants to suit different markets, and remains one of Ruger’s most successful rifles, still in production today. The simplest model of this rifle is called the “Ranch Rifle” and is offered in a wood or synthetic rifle stock paired with a blued or stainless steel receiver and a standard 18.5″ tapered barrel. These rifles feature an adjustable ghost ring rear sight and winged front sight, and they are sold with a detachable scope rail mount and a choice of two 20-round or 5-round detachable box magazines to comply with some U.S. states and other countries which have laws restricting magazine capacity. All models are chambered in both .223 Remington and 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition except the Target Rifle variant (which is .223 only).
