Description

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

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

The Faxon 27" 6.5mm / .264 Cal Medium Sporter Profile Barrel Blank is designed for gunsmiths and precision rifle builders seeking a lighter, field-friendly contour without sacrificing the bore quality and stability needed for accuracy. It’s an excellent starting point for custom bolt-action and long-range hunting rifles where weight, balance, and consistency matter.

Crafted 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 Medium Sporter profile balances weight savings with stiffness, giving builders a versatile contour that performs in both precision and practical field applications.

Key Benefits

  • Premium 416-R stainless steel: Chosen for consistency, machinability, and accuracy potential.
  • Button-rifled bore: Smooth, consistent rifling geometry for excellent build-to-build repeatability.
  • Honed & lapped interior: Improved surface finish for consistent bullet travel and easier cleaning.
  • Fully stress relieved: Helps maintain dimensional stability during machining and use.
  • Medium Sporter profile: Balanced contour for hunting and precision builds.
  • Made in the USA: Manufactured and inspected in-house by Faxon Firearms.

Builder Notes

  • Ships unchambered & unthreaded: Your gunsmith selects the final chamber, tenon, and muzzle threads.
  • Ideal for modern 6.5mm bullets: 1:8 twist is a common choice for many contemporary long-range projectiles.
  • Planning tip: Confirm your action, intended cartridge, and suppressor/muzzle device requirements before final machining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this barrel blank chambered or threaded?
No. This blank ships unchambered and unthreaded so your gunsmith can select the chamber, tenon dimensions, and muzzle threads for your specific action and cartridge.
What does “honed and lapped” mean?
Honing and lapping improve bore surface finish and uniformity, which can support excellent accuracy potential, more consistent performance, and easier cleaning once the barrel is finished.
Why choose the Medium Sporter profile?
Medium Sporter is a balanced contour intended to keep a rifle nimble for the field while retaining enough stiffness for precision shooting and repeatable performance.
Is a 1:8 twist good for 6.5mm bullets?
Yes — 1:8 is a widely used, versatile twist rate for many modern 6.5mm projectile weights and lengths. Always match twist rate to your intended bullet and velocity.
