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

Savage Arms 42 Takedown 19666

The Savage Model 24 was an affordably-priced over-under combination gun, manufactured for decades. When Savage pulled the plug, a near-constant clamor of die-hard fans has convinced Savage to bring the combination gun back with a different design. Now it is the Model 42. The barrels are blued with a black synthetic stock. They are available in .22 LR over 410, or 22 WMR over 410.
