The Faxon AXIS Series Target Profile 20" .308 Win AR10 barrel is engineered for shooters who want match-grade performance with the cleanest possible bore finish. Built on the same premium architecture as Faxon’s precision-focused stainless barrels, AXIS goes a step further with a honed and lapped bore for exceptional internal consistency and repeatable accuracy.
AXIS Series barrels start with 416-R stainless steel and 5R button rifling. The 5R geometry is designed to reduce jacket deformation and support consistent performance while remaining easy to maintain. Unlike nitrided barrels, AXIS features an uncoated, media-blasted (bead blasted) stainless exterior that delivers the series’ signature matte finish.
A Nickel Teflon coated DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension adds corrosion resistance and dry lubricity at the receiver interface. Finished with a recessed 11-degree target crown and MPI inspection, this barrel is proudly American-made by a family-owned manufacturer in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
