Shipping & returns — Trusted Distribution Partner items
When will my order ship?

Trusted Distribution Partner items typically ship within 1–3 business days from our partner's warehouse, separate from any Faxon-fulfilled items in your order. Transit times depend on the carrier and destination.

Will tracking come from Faxon?

Yes — you'll receive a tracking notification from Faxon Firearms when your partner-shipped item leaves the warehouse. If your order also contains Faxon-fulfilled items, you'll receive separate tracking for each shipment.

Can I combine this with other Faxon items in one shipment?

How do returns work for partner-shipped items?

Returns for Trusted Distribution Partner items are handled by Faxon Customer Service rather than through our standard self-service portal, so we can coordinate the return with our partner on your behalf.

Is this product authentic and covered by warranty?

CNC Firearms Exclusive. The Faxon 16″ 6mm ARC AR15 Rifle—a limited-edition AR-15 configured to CNC Firearms’ spec and available only through CNC Firearms, fulfilled through Sports South distribution. A flat-shooting, long-range AR-15 platform with Die Free Co. FDE ergonomics, a CMC drop-in trigger, Faxon’s MuzzLok® Plan B Flash Hider, and a 36″ Savior Specialist rifle case included.

The Faxon 16″ 6mm ARC AR15 Rifle is Faxon’s direct-impingement AR-15 platform—designed and assembled in Greater Cincinnati, OH, and built outward from the same barrel pedigree that established Faxon as an industry-leading barrel manufacturer. This CNC Firearms exclusive pairs this rifle with a 16″ Gunner-profile barrel chambered in 6mm ARC at a 1:7.5″ twist, matched to a 15″ M-LOK aluminum free-float handguard and a full FDE furniture package.

The 6mm ARC (6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge) is a SAAMI-standardized cartridge developed by Hornady in collaboration with U.S. Special Operations Command—engineered to deliver long-range precision performance from a standard AR-15 platform. It outranges 5.56×45mm NATO by a wide margin, maintains supersonic flight well past 1,000 yards with appropriate loads, and does all of it with the same manual of arms as any AR-15.

The furniture package is full FDE throughout: Die Free Co. Tiger Claw and Kung Fu Grip in Magpul-matched FDE, a Magpul DT MIL-SPEC stock in FDE, and a CMC drop-in trigger group for a clean, repeatable break. The muzzle is topped with Faxon’s MuzzLok® Plan B Flash Hider, and the package ships complete with a 36″ Savior Equipment Specialist soft rifle case. Limited production—when this configuration is gone, it’s gone.

CNC Firearms Exclusive Configuration

This Faxon 16″ 6mm ARC AR15 Rifle is a limited configuration available only through CNC Firearms and its authorized dealer network, with fulfillment handled through Sports South distribution. The exclusive spec pairs the Faxon 16″ 6mm ARC AR15 Rifle with a 6mm ARC Gunner barrel, a full FDE furniture build sourced from Die Free Co. and Magpul, a CMC trigger, and a MuzzLok® Plan B Flash Hider—a combination not found in Faxon’s standard catalog. When this production run is gone, it’s gone.

How This Build Comes Together

The Faxon 16″ 6mm ARC AR15 Rifle starts with Faxon’s AR-15 upper and lower receivers and builds outward from the barrel. At the center of this exclusive is Faxon’s 16″ Gunner-profile 6mm ARC barrel—a proprietary hybrid barrel profile that is heavier under the handguard for durability and stiffness, and relieves weight forward of the gas port for balance. Button-rifled, honed, and lapped at 1:7.5″ twist to stabilize the heavier, high-BC 6mm projectiles that make 6mm ARC effective at distance.

The furniture package is Die Free Co. and Magpul throughout in Magpul-matched FDE. The DFCO Tiger Claw and DFCO Kung Fu Grip bring Die Free Co.’s aggressive, high-traction FDE ergonomics to the handguard and pistol grip. The Magpul DT MIL-SPEC stock completes the color-matched FDE build on a standard MIL-SPEC buffer tube. The CMC drop-in trigger cassette swaps the mil-spec trigger for a clean, crisp break without modification to the lower receiver.

16″ Gunner-Profile Barrel in 6mm ARC

Faxon’s Gunner profile is a proprietary hybrid—heavier under the handguard where it absorbs heat and stress, lighter forward of the gas port for balance and weight savings. Button-rifled, honed, and lapped in 6mm ARC at a 1:7.5″ twist rate to stabilize high-BC 6mm match and hunting projectiles. 1/2x28 threaded muzzle.

CMC Drop-In Trigger Group

CMC’s drop-in trigger cassette is a meaningful upgrade over a mil-spec trigger group—a crisp, consistent break that installs without modification to the lower receiver. A clean pull and positive reset make the CMC one of the most popular drop-in AR-15 trigger upgrades, and it ships factory-installed in this build.

DFCO FDE Ergonomics Package

Die Free Co.’s Tiger Claw and Kung Fu Grip bring high-traction, purpose-built AR-15 ergonomics in Magpul-matched FDE. The Kung Fu Grip is a full pistol grip replacement; the Tiger Claw provides aggressive grip texture at the forend. Both are precision-molded from high-strength polymer and engineered to hold in adverse conditions.

MuzzLok® Plan B Flash Hider

Faxon’s MuzzLok® is a proprietary muzzle device platform designed for fast, repeatable muzzle device changes. The Plan B Flash Hider variant provides flash suppression at the 1/2x28-threaded muzzle with full MuzzLok® compatibility built in.

Why 6mm ARC

6mm ARC (6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge) is the product of a collaboration between Hornady and U.S. Special Operations Command—a SAAMI-standardized cartridge purpose-built to extract long-range precision performance from the AR-15 platform. Running high-BC, heavy-for-caliber 6mm projectiles, it exceeds the effective range of 5.56×45mm NATO by a significant margin, maintains supersonic flight well past 1,000 yards with appropriate loads, and does all of it in a standard AR-15 lower with a 6.5 Grendel-pattern bolt face. The result is a rifle with the familiar AR-15 manual of arms, a meaningful long-range envelope, and a cartridge with serious precision target and hunting applications. At 1:7.5″ twist, this barrel stabilizes the heavy, high-BC 6mm bullets—in the 103–108 grain range for precision use—that make 6mm ARC what it is.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 6mm ARC, and how does it compare to 5.56 NATO?

6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) is a SAAMI-standardized cartridge developed by Hornady in collaboration with U.S. Special Operations Command. It fires high-BC 6mm projectiles at velocities that outrange 5.56×45mm NATO significantly—maintaining supersonic flight well past 1,000 yards with the right loads, where a 5.56 has long since dropped off. It runs from a standard AR-15 lower with a modified bolt carrier group (6.5 Grendel-pattern bolt face), so the manual of arms is AR-15 throughout.

What is the Gunner barrel profile?

Faxon’s Gunner profile is a proprietary hybrid barrel contour. It is heavier under the handguard—where the barrel absorbs heat, stress, and the forces of a free-float lockup—and transitions to a lighter contour forward of the gas port. The result balances durability and stiffness where they matter most with weight savings where they are least costly to accuracy and handling. It is not a government profile, not a pencil barrel, and not a heavy barrel—it is Faxon’s own engineered compromise for a practical field rifle.

Why a 1:7.5″ twist for 6mm ARC?

6mm ARC is built around the heavy, high-BC 6mm projectiles that give it long-range capability—bullets in the 103–108gr range are common for precision use. These long, heavy-for-caliber bullets require a fast twist to stabilize properly. A 1:7.5″ twist is well-matched to those heavier loads while remaining stable with lighter bullets too.

What are the Die Free Co. Tiger Claw and Kung Fu Grip?

Die Free Co. (DFCO) makes high-traction AR-15 ergonomic accessories. The Kung Fu Grip is a full pistol grip replacement designed with aggressive, purpose-built texture for a secure, comfortable hold under recoil. The Tiger Claw is DFCO’s forend grip accessory that adds purchase on the handguard. Both are precision-molded in Magpul-matched FDE polymer.

What is the MuzzLok® Plan B Flash Hider?

MuzzLok® is Faxon’s proprietary muzzle device system, designed to accept compatible accessories with fast, repeatable changes. The Plan B Flash Hider is the flash-suppressor variant of the MuzzLok® system. It installs on the 1/2x28-threaded muzzle and accepts MuzzLok-compatible accessories.

What CMC trigger is included?

This build includes a CMC (Combat Master Class) drop-in trigger group. CMC drop-in cassettes install directly into a standard AR-15 lower without modification and deliver a clean, consistent break that is a notable upgrade over a mil-spec trigger group.

What case is included, and what does it fit?

This build ships with a 36″ Savior Equipment Specialist soft rifle case. At 36 inches it accommodates this rifle with a 16″ barrel with room for accessories. The Savior Specialist series features dense foam padding, a durable exterior shell, and integrated storage pockets.

Is this available in other configurations or calibers?

This specific FDE / 6mm ARC / 16″ Gunner / CMC / DFCO / MuzzLok® configuration is a CNC Firearms exclusive and is not available through Faxon’s standard product catalog.
