Faxon
Faxon FX7 Prefit Barrel — 24" 6.5 Creedmoor M24 Profile (1:8 Twist)
416-R stainless • 5R button rifled • Honed & lapped • Salt bath nitride (QPQ) • 5/8x24 • Recessed target crown • MPI inspected
The Faxon FX7 Prefit 24" 6.5 Creedmoor M24 barrel is built for shooters who want maximum stability and long-range capability from a bolt-action setup. Designed as a prefit barrel engineered for the Faxon FX7 action, the M24 contour delivers excellent stiffness and thermal consistency for precision shooting.
Starting with 416-R stainless steel, the bore is 5R button rifled, then honed & lapped for a smooth internal finish and consistent performance. A salt bath nitride (QPQ) finish enhances corrosion resistance and reduces fouling. Each barrel is Magnetic Particle Inspected (MPI) and finished with a recessed target crown to protect accuracy at the muzzle. Proudly American-made by a family-owned company in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
