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
Uberti 1873 Sporting Rifle Short Special
Description Uberti Firearms 1873 Special Sporting Short Rifle , .45 Colt Winchester\'s 1873 rifle was the "Rifle that Won the West." It was chambered in a new, more powerful cartridge, the .44-40-a .44 caliber bullet, propelled by 40 grains of black powder. However, a factor that really insured the success of the 1873 Winchester rifles was that Colt quickly offered its Peacemaker chambered in .44-40, as well. A cowboy could have both a lever-action rifle and his six shooter, and needed only one cartridge belt for both. Most Texas Rangers and every old West cowboy worth his salt carried 1873 rifles. Chappo, the son of Apache war chief Geronimo, packed an 1873. And Buffalo Bill carried an 1873 lever-action rifle along with a pair of .44-40 Colts in 1876 when he worked as an Army scout. This piece of rifle history is available in this Uberti 1873 Special Sporting Rifle chambered in the .45 Colt caliber. The Uberti U342068 has a 20" octagonal barrell and an A-grade walnut checkered pistol-grip stock and fore-end. The frame, buttplate and lever is case hardened. Caliber: .45 Colt Barrel Length: 20" octagonal Total Length:39" Weight: 7.7 lbs.
