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

Volquartsen Ultralite VCU‑LR‑MDS

Our UltraLite model is the lightest rimfire rifle configuration we offer. It features the new UltraLite barrel mounted into our lightweight receiver. The receiver is the same as our aftermarket receiver. This allows several mounting options for an optic. It comes standard with a Picatinny rail. There is also an option of having the receiver drilled & tapped to accept a C-More optic. This allows the shooter to mount the C-More as low as possible. This has proven to be very advantageous with rimfire steel shooters.
