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

Ed Brown Varmint

A higher comb offers much better sight alignment with the commonly used large objective scopes. In addition to the higher comb, the stock includes secure checkering fore and aft, with the bottom of the 2 inch wide forend left smooth so as not to interfere with a sand bag or rest. A gentle palm swell fills the hand and allows a secure grip. There is no cheekpiece on this stock. We suggest a RV heavy contour barrel, but the forend is wide enough to accept all the way up to a #7 if desired. Varmints are built standard as a repeater, but may be had with solid bottom single shot actions by special order. Varmint is built with the following: Ed Brown Custom controlled feed action with machined steel trigger guard and hinged floor plate. Match grade, hand lapped and precision chambered Shilen barrel, stainless steel with black Gen III coating for superior rust protection. Hand-bedded McMillan fiberglass stock with full 1" thick Pachmayr Decel recoil pad.
