ABSTRACT:
A gas-pressure loading arrangement for a self-loading rifle includes a gas cylinder fluidly connected to the bore of the rifle barrel and a gas piston received in the gas cylinder to define a gas chamber. The gas piston has piston ring members seated thereon in engagement with the inner surface of the gas cylinder under tension. The piston ring members allow the gas piston to be loosely received in the gas cylinder while preventing gas leakage around the piston. The piston ring members also scrape gas deposits off the inner wall of the gas cylinder during piston movement so that the inner wall remains clean.
