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

Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact

The Featherweight Compact carries on the Model 70 Featherweight heritage in a deluxe, refined model that is an excellent choice for smaller-framed shooters, ladies, young people or hunters who prefer a compact light mountain rifle. The Featherweight Compact Model 70 has Pre-'64 Controlled Round Feeding, an easy-to-use Three Position Safety, shorter length of pull and a jeweled bolt body with knurled bolt handle. The M.O.A Trigger System is easily adjustable and has no take-up, creep or overtravel. The Featherweight Compact with its 20" barrel and fast, flat-shooting calibers start young shooters off right with a rifle possessing all the deluxe features of the Featherweight. This rifle also comes with a Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad for optimal protection against felt recoil. It's a rifle to train with, hunt with, have fun with and pass down to the next generation.
