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

Weatherby Mark V Accumark AMM338LR8B

The Mark V 338 Lapua Accumark has a hand laminated, Monte Carlo-style composite stock with matte gel coat finish and spiderweb accents. The free-floating, fluted stainless steel barrel is button-rifled. It has a #3 contour (.705 muzzle diameter) with a recessed target crown and Accubrake for a 28" overall barrel length. Because the crown is located at the end of the barrel, not the brake, the lands are protected, preserving accuracy. The steel Accubrake significantly reduces felt recoil - up to 53 percent - and muzzle flip. The Mark V 338 Lapua also features a factory tuned, fully adjustable trigger, CNC-machined 6061 T-6 aluminum bedding plate, and a Pachmayr Decelerator pad. *** NOTE  338 Lapua has chrome-moly blued barrel. ***
