FAXON REMAGE STYLE GUNNER PROFILE 16" 1:6T 8.6 BLK SAAMI BOLT ACTION BARREL
Faxon RemAge Style Gunner Profile — 16" 1:6T 8.6 BLK SAAMI Bolt Action Barrel (700B866N16NGQ)
416-R stainless • 1:6 twist • Button rifled • QPQ nitride • Gunner profile • RemAge® system • Designed for 8.6 Blackout SAAMI
Compatibility Notice: This is a RemAge-style barrel designed for Faxon FX7 actions as well as most OEM Remington 700 short action receivers and similar actions using RemAge-style installation practices. Always verify receiver thread specs, tenon requirements, and proper headspacing before installation.
The Faxon RemAge Style Gunner 16" 8.6 Blackout SAAMI Barrel is purpose-built to harness the extreme ballistic potential of the 8.6 BLK cartridge in a compact, suppressor-ready bolt-action platform. The aggressive 1:6 twist rate is essential for stabilizing long, heavy 8.6 BLK projectiles and maximizing rotational energy, especially in subsonic and suppressed configurations.
Machined from 416-R stainless steel at Faxon’s Cincinnati facility, each barrel is fully stress relieved, air-gauge tested, magnetic particle inspected, and finished with a durable QPQ salt bath nitride treatment inside and out. A recessed target crown ensures consistent accuracy shot-to-shot. Proudly American-made by a family-owned company in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.

Quick Installation Notes
- Verify action compatibility and confirm correct headspace gauges for your chambering.
- Clean receiver threads and barrel threads before assembly.

PLEASE NOTE:
8.6 BLK is now SAAMI certified, standardizing chamber and cartridge dimensions (including headspace) for enhanced safety, consistency, and ammunition interchangeability across manufacturers.
The primary changes with SAAMI certification include formalized headspace dimensions and support for moderate twist rates (compared to earlier aggressive designs), promoting greater versatility with a wide range of projectiles—making this RemAge-style 1:6 twist barrel an excellent fit for balanced precision in both subsonic and supersonic applications.
Always use SAAMI-spec compliant 8.6 BLK ammunition for best performance and safety. If you have questions, contact customerservice@faxonfirearms.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “RemAge style” mean?
“RemAge style” generally refers to a barrel installation approach that uses a barrel nut to help set headspace (similar in concept to certain prefit systems). Always verify compatibility with your specific action and follow proper headspacing procedures with correct gauges.
Will this fit my Remington 700 short action?
This barrel is compatible with most OEM Remington 700 short action receivers and similar actions, but exact fit can vary by manufacturer and configuration. Confirm receiver thread specs, tenon requirements, and your chosen RemAge nut system before purchase/installation.
Why does 8.6 BLK require a 1:6 twist?
The fast 1:6 twist is required to stabilize long, heavy 8.6 BLK projectiles and maximize rotational energy for improved terminal performance.
Is the barrel ready for a suppressor or muzzle device?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded M18x1.5, which is common for many suppressor mounts and muzzle devices. Always verify thread compatibility, shoulder/mount requirements, and alignment before firing.
Do I need special tools for installation?
RemAge nut setups commonly use an AR15 castle nut wrench pattern for torquing. You will also need appropriate headspace gauges and should follow the action/nut manufacturer’s torque and assembly guidance.
What does SAAMI certification change for 8.6 BLK?
SAAMI certification standardizes chamber specs (including headspace) and supports moderate twist rates for broader compatibility, improving safety and ammo interchangeability industry-wide.
