    Really outstanding barrel

    Posted by Will on Dec 21st 2022

    Pretty much everything I’ve gotten from Faxon has been excellent and this barrel is no exception. It functioned flawlessly with a Faxon 9mm BCG. I loved it so much I bought another, shorter barrel.

    Great 9mm PCC Barrel

    Posted by Warren Henry II on Mar 21st 2022

    Very nice light barrel with a slimmer profile than most other 16" 9mm PCC Barrels. Accurate as well. I'd def buy theses again for future 9mm PCC builds

    Great Barrel

    Posted by Nicholas A Balzart on Mar 18th 2022

    I used this for a PSA AR-V 9mm build. Fitment was perfect. The barrel is pretty light which is a good thing and shoots accurately. I would highly reccomend.
