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 Vanguard Series II Varmint Special

This Vanguard model features an attractive tan, injection-molded Monte Carlo synthetic stock with distinctive pebble grain finish and black spiderwebbing with molded-in checkering. The barreled action is bead blasted to a matte finish and the barrel features a recessed target crown. The Vanguard action is made with a one-piece, forged and machined, flat bottomed receiver with an integral recoil lug for the utmost in strength. The bolt has a one-piece forged, fluted body with three gas escape ports. The trigger can be user adjusted for let-off weight and sear engagement within factory pre-set minimums. (Weatherby's lawyers advise, naturally, that only a qualified gunsmith should set sear engagement.)
