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 SR-556 5904
The SR-556 offers Ruger's legendary rugged reliability and employs a patent-pending, chrome-plated, two-stage piston-driven operating system that provides the user with a cleaner, cooler-running, reliable firearm that is truly state-of-the-art. The chrome-lined gas block and chrome-plated piston and regulator work together to provide a smooth power delivery stroke to the bolt carrier, and the by-products of the gas system are vented out the bottom of the gas block, away from the bolt carrier, keeping the action clean and free from contaminants. This results in significantly improved performance over gas-driven rifles. The Ruger SR-556VT features a target-style trigger with a short "take-up" stage followed by a crisp, light target pull, and it comes with three magazines. The lightweight, adaptable handguard with flattop receiver features a Picatinny rail that extends the full length of the handguard. Additional rails may be purchased for the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions.
