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
Taylor's & Company 1874 Sharps
Best known as a buffalo-hunting gun, the Sharps sporting rifle became known as "Old Reliable" by those who hunted buffalo for their hides. Among those associated with the rifles were buffalo Bill Cody, and Bat Masterson to name a few who used the big single-shot to maximum effect on the seemingly endless herds of buffalo. Now Taylor's & Company is proud to offer the colorful, high-quality 1874 Sharps Sporting Rifle featuring walnut stock, Schnabel forend, 32" octagonal barrel, and case hardened receiver for hunting and target shooting.
