As with all Faxon Barrels, these 8.6 BLK barrels are machined from raw bar stock in our greater Cincinnati Facility. Faxon 8.6 BLK barrels are fully stress-relieved, air-gauge tested, Magnetic Particle Inspected, and 11-degree target crowned to ensure superior accuracy. Constructed of 4150 CMV, each barrel goes through a battery of tests at each operation until finished in Nitride and final inspected.
All Faxon Barrels are individually checked for headspace by precision custom hardened gauges and are backed by the Faxon Lifetime Guarantee.
Consumer Note:
At the time of release, 8.6 BLK is not SAAMI certified. Please use appropriate caution while firing and when using reloaded ammunition.

12" 8.6 Blackout
The barrel itself is top notch. Nice and heavy and I can't find a thing wrong with it. After 2 months of shopping and meticulously putting parts together I have finally built my AR pistol and gotten a bit of ammo from Gorilla ammunitions. Took it out to the range today and to my surprise this thing has WAY less recoil and retort/noise than I was expecting. Shoots like an absolute dream. I've only shot subsonic ammo so far so maybe with the super sonic ammo it's have a little more flare and kick to it but from what I've shot so far, great stuff indeed.

Quality
Been actively building and re-barreling all types of firearms for quite some time and was really impressed with the fit and finish of this barrel.

Faxon 12" Big Gunner 8.6 BLK barrel
So glad to see Faxon come out with these and be on top of this new arising market. I wanted the 12" as most work seems to be done with it at the moment. Like all the Faxon product I have purchased it's top quality and having a Faxon bolt ensures everything will work together.

FAXON 12" BIG GUNNER, 8.6 BLK, PISTOL LENGTH, 4150, NITRIDE, AR-10
Fit and finish are phenomenal, slides tightly into upper. Everything you could ask for in an 12" 8.6 blk barrel.

Observations
Disappointed tht the barrel doesn’t come dimpled, also felt Faxon should offer readily available thread adapters for the muzzle, not everyone uses a suppressor. The twist rate for some is undesirable. An offering of a slower twist rate such as 1/7 would enhance desirability due to cost of monolithic projectiles. Overall quality and build tho is excellent and up to Faxon standards. In time I can see these factors reimagined which will help the cartridge succeed.
