How to Choose Your Faxon AR15

Shopping for an AR15 / AR-15 rifle or pistol is easiest when you choose your tier first—then select configuration based on how you actually shoot (training, duty-minded setups, suppressed use, competition, or general range time). Faxon’s lineup is organized around four clear verticals: SPORT, PRO, PREMIERE, and ION.

AR15 Use Cases

General Purpose / Range

  • Choose a configuration that balances handling and reliability for high-volume shooting.
  • Prioritize a setup you can feed easily and train with consistently.

Suppressed Builds

  • Plan the full ecosystem: barrel + gas tuning + mount + suppressor.
  • Start with a suppressor-forward configuration, then tune gas for a cleaner shooting experience.

Compact / Fast Handling

  • Ideal for tight spaces and quick transitions—choose tier and configuration for your purpose.
  • ION is the natural fit when you want capability without carry weight.

Performance / Refinement

  • When precision potential and refinement matter most, step into PRO or PREMIERE.
  • Support the build with the right upper and barrel ecosystem to match your goals.

Why Faxon: These are not rebranded builds. Faxon Firearms is a manufacturer—engineering and producing firearms and components with roots in advanced machining and engineering since 1978.


Suppressors Are an Ecosystem

If your end state is suppressed, plan the full stack up front. The best results come from matching the host configuration with the right gas system and mounting standard. Explore suppressors and host-tuning components below.

AR15 Firearms FAQs

Do you sell both AR15 rifles and AR15 pistols?
Yes—this category includes complete AR15 / AR-15 rifles and pistols across SPORT, PRO, PREMIERE, and ION (availability varies by tier and production run).
What’s the fastest way to pick between SPORT, PRO, PREMIERE, and ION?
Choose based on your use case: SPORT for workhorse value, PRO for performance-focused configuration, PREMIERE for top-end refinement, and ION when lightweight handling is the priority.
Are these complete firearms or just uppers/parts?
This category is focused on complete AR15 firearms. If you’re building, shop components separately in Rifle Barrels, Rifle Parts, and Upper Receivers.
Can I run these AR15s suppressed?
Many shooters run these platforms suppressed. For best results, plan the full system—host configuration, gas tuning, mount/muzzle device, and suppressor choice. Start here: Suppressors.
Do you offer different chamberings besides 5.56?
Tier offerings vary by production run, and you may see AR15 platforms offered beyond standard 5.56 depending on the lineup. If you’re building a specific cartridge, shop by barrel and upper ecosystem to match your goal.
I’m not sure whether I want a rifle or a pistol—how should I decide?
Choose based on handling and intended use: rifles typically emphasize stability and traditional setups, while pistols emphasize compactness and maneuverability. If your goal is suppressed and compact, plan the system up front (gas + mount + suppressor) before purchasing.
Where do I start if I want to build instead of buy a complete firearm?
Start with the barrel and upper ecosystem: Rifle Barrels and Rifle Parts. Then select gas tuning and suppression components as needed for your end state.
