The Faxon 18" 8.6mm / .338 Bore M24 Profile Barrel Blank is a purpose-driven starting point for 8.6 Blackout builders who want a proven precision contour paired with the cartridge’s defining feature: an extremely fast 1:3 twist. This blank is engineered to support the stabilization goals that make 8.6 BLK a standout for modern suppressed and hunting-focused builds.
Made from premium 416-R stainless steel, each blank is button rifled, honed and lapped, and fully stress relieved for uniform internal geometry and long-term dimensional stability. The M24 profile is a proven contour that balances rigidity and thermal stability, helping support consistent performance in hard-use, precision-oriented 8.6 Blackout configurations.
