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
SIG Sauer SG 540
The SIG SG-540 had been developed by the Swiss company SIG in the mid-1970s as a new,lightweight assault rifle, chambered in then-new small-caliber ammunition (.223 Rem / 5.56mm NATO). The SG-540 was licensed to the Manurhin of France and FAMAE of Chile, and had been temporarily used by FrenchArmy (who replaced it with FA MAS rifle in the early 1980s), Portuguese Army and Chilean army, and some other countries, mostly in South America and Africa. 7.62mm NATO version also had been developed, butfound no significant sales. The SG-540 itself had not been adopted by Swiss military, but it became the platform for further improvements,which lead to the SIG-550 / Stgw.90assault rifle. SG-540 currently is in production only by FAMAE company of Chile.
