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 Precision Rifle 18085

Factory-installed TriggerTech Trigger with Frictionless Release Technology™ provides an exceptionally crisp break, minimized overtravel, and an extremely short and tactile reset. Includes trigger pull weight adjustment screws. Custom, heavy-contour (.850" at the muzzle) stainless steel barrel, features an APA Muzzle Brake (.264 bore) to effectively reduce recoil aiding shot observation for quick follow-up shots. Barrier stop installed on the front of the magazine well enhances the shooter's positional support during competition by providing a stable and repeatable shooting position. Magpul® MOE® K2+ grip provides a more vertical grip angle in a full-sized design. Constructed with rubber overmolding for positive rifle control and provides compatibility with optional Storage Cores for stowing gear. M-LOK® attachment slots are machined into the sides of the magazine well for match saver and other M-LOK-compatible accessories. Improved firing tip geometry enhances functionality with a wide variety of primers while allowing for decreased force necessary to manipulate the bolt. Handguard features a target-style flat bottom to improve stability and includes an integral bottom 1.50" dovetail (compatible with RRS S.O.A.R. and similar QD systems). Updated machining on the "lower" magazine well halves provide a flared magwell for improved magazine reloading capabilities. Select parts are finished with a durable Cerakote® for improved wear resistance. In-line recoil path manages recoil directly from the rear of the receiver to the buttstock, not through a traditional bedding system, providing maximum accuracy potential. Ruger Precision® MSR stock with QD sling attachment points features a bottom M-LOK® slot and soft rubber buttpad. The left-folding stock hinge is attached to an AR-style buffer tube and accepts any AR-style stock. Length of pull and comb height are adjustable. Cold hammer-forged, chrome-moly stainless steel barrel with 5R Rifling at minimum bore and groove dimensions, minimum headspace and centralized chamber. Aluminum free-float handguard is black hard-coat anodized aluminum and features Magpul® M-LOK® slots on all four sides for improved scope clearance for long-range scopes and easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible rails and accessories. Ambidextrous manual safety for left- or right-handed lever manipulation. 20 MOA Picatinny rail secured with # 8-40 screws for increased long-range elevation capabilities. "Upper" receiver and one-piece bolt are precision CNC-machined from pre-hardened 4140 chrome-moly steel to minimize distortion. Three-lug bolt with 70° throw features dual cocking cams and a smooth-running, full diameter bolt body. Bolt body is nitrided for corrosion resistance, smooth operation and durability. Barrel can be replaced easily by a competent gunsmith using headspace gauges. Oversized bolt handle for positive bolt manipulation, with a 5/16"-24 thread pattern for easy replacement. Bolt disassembly tool is stored in the Ruger Precision® Rifle Billet Aluminum Bolt Shroud for easy striker channel cleaning. "Lower" magazine well halves are precision machined from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and are Type III hard-coat anodized for maximum durability. Also includes: two, 10-round Magpul® PMAG® magazines; Sorbothane® cheek pad that provides a comfortable and stable cheek-to-stock weld for quick target acquisition.
