Description

Faxon Profiled Barrel Blank — 27" 6.5mm / .264 Cal Bull Profile (1:8 Twist)

416-R stainless • Button rifled • Honed & lapped • Fully stress relieved • Bull contour • Precision blank for custom builds

The Faxon 27" 6.5mm / .264 Cal Bull Profile Barrel Blank is built for gunsmiths and precision rifle builders who demand maximum rigidity and thermal stability from their custom builds. This blank is an ideal foundation for long-range, competition, and benchrest-style rifles where stiffness and consistency are critical.

Manufactured from premium 416-R stainless steel, each blank is button rifled, honed and lapped, and fully stress relieved to promote uniform internal geometry and long-term dimensional stability. The Bull profile provides ample material for final contouring while minimizing barrel whip and heat-induced point-of-impact shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this barrel blank chambered or threaded?
No. This is a gunsmith-ready barrel blank that ships unchambered and unthreaded so you can choose your chamber, muzzle threads, and final dimensions.
What does “honed and lapped” mean for performance?
Honing and lapping improve bore surface finish and uniformity, which can support consistent velocities, easier cleaning, and excellent accuracy potential in a finished build.
Why choose a Bull profile barrel blank?
Bull contours maximize stiffness and thermal mass, helping reduce barrel whip and heat-driven point-of-impact shift. They’re a strong choice for competition and precision applications.
Is a 1:8 twist right for 6.5mm bullets?
A 1:8 twist is a popular, versatile choice for many modern 6.5mm bullet weights commonly used in precision and long-range shooting. Always match twist rate to your intended projectile length/weight and velocity.
