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

Sabatti S.p.A. ST-18

The Sabatti ST-18 bolt action rifle is this Italian company’s latest addition to their tactical and long-range bolt action rifle line. The rifle is designed in cooperation with BCM Europearms, a company known for building competition rifles. The chassis of Sabatti ST-18 rifle is machined out of Ergal 55 aluminum alloy which looks to be identical to the 7075 aluminum. The company notes that the receiver and chassis do not directly contact each other but are connected via a V-block on the front (which apparently also works as a recoil lug) and a semi-circular insert at the rear of the receiver. The pistol grip and the stock attachment points are compatible with that of the AR-15 platform and the rifle uses AICS pattern magazines. The ST-18 comes with a folding stock made of a material called Ryton which is apparently a metal reinforced polymer. The stock of this rifle folds to the right side of the weapon. It features an adjustable cheek piece and several QD sling swivel sockets. The length of pull can be adjusted via spacers. These rifles also come with aluminum KeyMod handguards.
