FAXON PRO 16" 6.5 GRENDEL AR15 RIFLE
Built for precision hunters and long-range shooters — lightweight Gunner profile barrel for excellent balance and velocity, mid-length gas system for smooth cycling, 1:8 twist optimized for 6.5 Grendel ballistics, and equipped with Faxon’s MuzzLok® Plan B flash hider for flash reduction, repeatable timing, and fast suppressor attachment — fully assembled in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
What it is
The Faxon Pro 16" 6.5 Grendel AR15 Rifle is a purpose-built, complete rifle designed for maximum effective range, flat trajectory, and superior terminal performance on medium game or long-range targets. The 6.5 Grendel cartridge delivers exceptional ballistics — high BC projectiles, low recoil, and energy retention out to 600+ yards — all packaged in a lightweight, maneuverable AR-15 platform.
At the heart is Faxon’s Match Series Gunner profile barrel (button-rifled in-house, 1:8 twist, stress-relieved, MPI-inspected, Nickel Teflon extension) paired with a mid-length gas system and patented adjustable low-profile gas block. It ships with Faxon’s MuzzLok® Plan B flash hider (5/8×24, .375" bore, stainless nitride) for effective flash suppression, precise timing, and direct compatibility with HUB-mount suppressors. The rifle is completed with premium components: superfinished 6.5 Grendel BCG, Hiperfire EDT3 trigger, ambidextrous safety, B5 Bravo stock and grip, 3 oz buffer, and a 10-round magazine.
Ready for the range, the field, or suppressed use — the Faxon Pro 6.5 Grendel offers hunters, precision shooters, and AR enthusiasts a turnkey solution with sub-MOA potential out of the box.
