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

Traditions Vortek Ultra Light R481146WA

The innovative Traditions Vortek StrikerFire LDR Muzzleloader has taken away the external hammer, instead using an internal StrikerFire system for lighter weight, faster cocking and the ability to mount a scope closer to the bore. To cock the gun, simply push the striker button forward until it locks. Automatic de-cocking mechanism decocks gun when it is opened. Increased barrel length allows longer burn time, which translates into increased velocity, better consistency and improved downrange accuracy. Super-lightweight at just 6.75 lbs., the rugged, reliable LT-1 alloy frame sports a durable and weather-resistant Premium CeraKote finish and is mated to a 30 chromoly tapered fluted barrel. Creep-free, two-stage TAC2 Trigger is factory set at 2 lbs. A 1-in-28 rate of twist results in outstanding accuracy with modern projectiles. Hogue Comfort-Grip overmolding on the Monte Carlo-style stock ensures a firm grip in any weather conditions. Stow-N-Go removable butt pad for storage inside the stock. Extended ambidextrous hammer extension. Solid-aluminum ramrod with Quick-T ramrod handle functions as a palm saver and a T-handle bullet starter. Accelerator breech plug is easily removed by hand. Soft touch synthetic camouflage stock. Dual safety system. Drilled and tapped for scope mounting. Caliber: .50. Barrel length: 30. OAL: 46. Wt: 6.75 lbs. Finish: Premium CeraKote/Realtree XTRA. Color: Realtree XTRA. Type: Rifles.
