Faxon
Faxon Duty Series AR10 Barrel — Gunner Profile 13.9" .308 Win (1:10 Twist, Mid-Length Gas)
4150 CMV steel • Button rifled • Salt bath nitride (QPQ) inside & out • Gunner profile • 11° target crown • Mid-length gas • .750" gas block journal • 1.9" journal length • 5/8x24 TPI • LR-308 / DPMS compatible
The Faxon Duty Series Gunner Profile 13.9" .308 Win AR10 barrel is designed for compact, hard-use AR10 builds that still want a smooth recoil impulse and practical accuracy. Paired with mid-length gas, this barrel helps balance cycling and controllability in a shorter .308 configuration.
Duty Series barrels start with 4150 CMV steel and button rifling for proven durability and consistent performance. A QPQ salt bath nitride treatment inside and out improves corrosion resistance and wear life for duty, training, and field use.
The Gunner profile is built around balance—retaining strength where it matters while reducing forward weight for faster handling. This length is also a popular choice for pin & weld setups (always confirm overall length with your muzzle device and local requirements). Proudly American-made by a family-owned manufacturer in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.

Ideal Use Cases
- Compact AR10 builds: Short overall length with mid-length gas for controllability.
- Pin & weld projects: Pair with an appropriately sized device to reach legal overall length where applicable.

Specifications
Build note: Always verify receiver/bolt compatibility, headspace, and muzzle-device alignment prior to use. For pin & weld builds, confirm legal overall barrel length with your chosen muzzle device.

308 WIN, Mid-Length, 4150 QPQ Nitride AR-10 Barrel
Bought the Faxon barrel to replace another manufacturer's product (Wilson) which was really was not working properly. As usual, the Faxon barrels always come thru with flying colors. Snug fit and works perfectly. Ty

Based on look and fit
Bought this to go with my 13.5 hand guard (Stag 10 build) fits perfect with just enough room to lock in a can on the keymod

Quality barrel
This is my second Faxon barrel. First one was a 556 20” SOCOM! I liked it so much that I chose to go with this one for my 308 build. Length came out perfect with my Aero Precision handguard. I can’t wait to finish the build so I can send rounds down range. Highly recommend Faxon!
