Great barrel so far!
Haven't put many rounds through it so far, but it's a great barrel. A bit of a challenge considering the length and the minor ammo restrictions of the fast spin, but so far so good!

Love It!
I am very happy to have this barrel be part of my first build. I chose the Faxon gold light weight BCG to go along with it. Extremely accurate at 50 yards even with AAC 110 grain. Faxon fan for life!

Build Quality
I haven't had the chance to install this but wanted to call out the build quality. Top Notch!! I can't wait to get it installed to replace my Faxon 1:7 twist and get the additional benefits of the 1:5 twist for subs.
