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 Mini-14 Tactical 5819

Ruger Ranch Rifles were specifically designed for mounting today's scopes or other optical sighting systems. They feature integral scope mounts on their receivers which can never shoot loose, patented Ruger scope rings at no extra charge, side ejection to clear the top mounted scope, and a patented recoil buffer, which protects the scope from damage or shifting impact when the mechanism parts move automatically during firing. This family of rifles is special because they are best for small game hunting where a quick few shots might be needed. Chambered with the popular .223 Remington cartridge, these are excellent short to medium range "varmint" rifles, perfect for the ranch or small game fields. Ruger Mini-14 Tactical Rifles are rugged centerfire autoloading rifles that provide reliable performance.
