FAXON DUTY SERIES 16" GUNNER 7.62X39 BARRELED UPPER
The Faxon Duty Series 16" Gunner 7.62x39 Barreled Upper is built for shooters who want the punch of 7.62x39 in a practical, lightweight AR15 upper configuration. This is a barreled upper assembly built around Faxon’s proven Duty Series barrel platform, paired with a forged upper, 15" M-LOK handguard, fixed low-profile gas block, and a durable .30 cal A2 flash hider.
At the core is the Faxon Duty Series Gunner Profile 16" Mid-Length 7.62x39 AR15 Barrel. Faxon’s Gunner profile is designed to remove unnecessary front-end weight while preserving strength where it matters, giving the rifle a more responsive, balanced feel without sacrificing real-world durability. For shooters building a general-purpose rifle, truck gun, range gun, or hard-use carbine, that balance matters.
This upper uses the Faxon Enhanced Forged AR15 Upper Receiver, along with a Faxon Streamline Aluminum M-LOK 15" AR15 Handguard for a clean, modern layout with ample room for support-hand placement, lights, slings, and other accessories. Gas is managed by the Faxon Fixed .750" 3 Screw Low Profile Gas Block and Faxon Mid Length Stainless Steel AR Gas Tube, creating a straightforward, dependable operating setup.
Up front, the upper is finished with the Faxon .30 Cal A2 Flash Hider - 5/8x24 w/ Crush Washer, making this a ready-to-build foundation for shooters who want classic flash suppression, common thread compatibility, and no-nonsense configuration.
The 7.62x39 cartridge remains one of the most popular intermediate rifle cartridges in the world for a reason: strong energy, proven field performance, broad ammo familiarity, and excellent utility inside a compact semiautomatic platform. In an AR15 with the right barrel, gas system, magazines, and setup, 7.62x39 delivers a distinct blend of authority and shootability that many shooters still prefer.
Best for: general-purpose AR15 builds, defensive carbines, range rifles, and shooters who want 7.62x39 performance in a lightweight AR platform.
Not for: buyers expecting a complete firearm or a suppressor-tuned upper out of the box. This is a barreled upper assembly only.
