FAXON DUTY SERIES 16" GUNNER 350 LEGEND BARRELED UPPER
FaxonFaxon Duty Series 16" Gunner 350 Legend Barreled Upper
Built for straight-wall hunting performance in an AR-15 footprint—lightweight handling, duty-grade durability, and suppressor-ready threading from an American manufacturer in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
What it is
The Faxon Duty Series 16" Gunner 350 Legend Barreled Upper is a purpose-built, suppressor-capable upper designed for hunters and practical shooters running the 350 Legend in AR-15 platforms. The Gunner contour keeps weight down where it matters for carry and transitions, while preserving strength at the chamber for real-world durability.
At the core is a Faxon Duty Series 4150 CMV barrel manufactured in-house using controlled processes developed through decades of advanced machining heritage. Duty Series barrels are salt-bath nitrided for wear/corrosion resistance and built with the reliability-first mindset buyers expect from a manufacturer—not a reseller.
This upper is ideal for whitetail and hog hunting in straight-wall states, and for shooters who want an efficient, low-recoil hunting cartridge that still feeds and runs like an AR should. If you’re building for the field, this is the “grab-and-go” configuration that closes the decision gap.
Who it’s for / not for
- Best for: Straight-wall hunting setups, truck/field rifles, practical range use, lightweight builds.
- Good match: Standard AR-15 lowers, optics-ready hunting builds, suppressor-ready muzzle device ecosystems.
- Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a complete rifle (this is an upper), or those needing a different barrel length/profile for specialized balance preferences.

- Duty Series 4150 CMV barrel construction (duty-grade material choice)
- Salt Bath Nitride protection for long service life and easier maintenance

- Made in the USA by Faxon Firearms in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio
