LASER SIGHTS BARSKA’s Laser
Sighting Systems are powered by three LR-44 Lithium batteries
(included) and produce a bright dot for extreme sighting accuracy.
Some models are equipped with inserts that are shaped to fit
virtually all trigger guards. All models are equipped with an On-Off
button and laser sights are made of tough lightweight
Aluminum.
Green Laser vs. Red
Laser Green is closer to the center of the visible
spectrum, at 532 nanometers, so it’s easier for our eyes to perceive
the color vs. a red laser at 635 nanometers. A green laser can
appear as much as 50 times brighter than the red equivalent. 532nm
is the ideal wavelength to maximize visibility during day or night,
which makes green lasers much more visible than red lasers.
BORESIGHTERS Boresighter
fits snugly in the rifle barrel to eliminate any “play” that can
result in an inaccurate boresighting adjustment and poor shooting
accuracy
Caliber Caliber (Cal.) is a
system of measurement for the internal bore diameter of a
rifled-barreled firearm (rifle or pistol) based on the decimal part
of an inch (.22 Cal) or in millimeters (9mm). American caliber
designations refer to the distance from land to land, not groove to
groove.
MUZZLE BRAKES BARSKA’s
muzzle brakes redirect propellant gases with the effect of
countering both recoil of the gun and unwanted rising of the barrel
during rapid fire resulting in increased accuracy.
UNIVERSAL PARTS &
TOOLS BARSKA’s selection of high quality tactical parts

RINGS BARSKA scope rings
are precision engineered and manufactured using T6 Aluminum and
Aluminum alloy for durability and weight savings. Selecting rings
with the correct height to use with your scope depends on several
factors including barrel taper, action length, ring position on the
scope and the outside objective diameter of the scope.
H-Height Describes how high
the rings lift the riflescope off the rifle body.
D-Diameter Refers to the
inner diameter of the of the ring.
O-Overall The height of the
entire ring, from top to bottom.
MOUNTS BARSKA bases are
designed to provide you with solid performance in the field. T6
Aluminum construction results in durability and lighter weight while
the rugged cross slot bolts secure the bracket to provide extreme
rigidity. These bases permit the mounting of a variety of firearms.

adjustments. These bipods fit AR-15 and SKS rifles and also include
a universal model that will fit an almost unlimited choice of rifle
types.
