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
Thompson/Center Venture
Back in 2009 when T/C first introduced the Venture rifle, their intent was to get a lightweight T/C rifle with desirable features in the hands of hunters for less money than the company’s then-flagship, Icon rifle. It was good timing, because depending on whom you ask, 2009 was also either the beginning, middle or the end of the Great Recession. Money was tight. Americans were hit hard financially; yet, the political atmosphere was causing an increase in Modern Sporting Rifle sales. Thompson/Center’s decision to introduce an affordable bolt-action rifle to initiate brand loyalty made perfect sense.
