Faxon RemAge® Style Bolt Action Barrel — 16" 8.6 Blackout Medium Profile (1:3 Twist)

416-R stainless • 1:3 twist • Button rifled • QPQ nitride • RemAge® system • Designed for 8.6 Blackout

Compatibility Notice: RemAge® barrels produced before job number 8923 are compatible only with factory Remington® 700 actions and similar.

As of 12/13/23, RemAge® barrels produced after this job number are compatible with both Remington® 700 and Faxon FX7 actions and similar.

Developed in partnership with Q, the Faxon RemAge® 16" 8.6 Blackout barrel is purpose-built to harness the extreme ballistic characteristics of the 8.6 BLK cartridge. The aggressive 1:3 twist rate is required to stabilize long, heavy projectiles and maximize rotational energy, especially in suppressed and subsonic configurations.

Machined from 416-R stainless steel at Faxon’s Cincinnati facility, each barrel is fully stress relieved, air-gauge tested, magnetic particle inspected, and finished with a durable QPQ salt bath nitride treatment inside and out. An 11° target crown ensures consistent accuracy shot-to-shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 8.6 Blackout SAAMI certified?
No. At the time of release, 8.6 Blackout is not SAAMI certified. Use appropriate caution when firing and when using reloaded ammunition.
Why does 8.6 BLK require a 1:3 twist?
The fast 1:3 twist is required to stabilize long, heavy 8.6 BLK projectiles and maximize rotational energy for improved terminal performance.
Can semi-auto ammunition be used in bolt actions?
Ammunition intended for semi-auto rifles may use harder primers, which can result in light primer strikes when fired from bolt-action rifles.
