    Faxon 16" 9mm Carbine barrel

    Posted by Tom Shaffer on Jun 6th 2017

    Put barrel on new PSA 9mm hybrid carbine. Great reliability but poor accuracy with factory barrel. Went from larger than pie plate accuracy to less than 2" at 50 yards! Very happy with purchase!!!

    We haven't installed this barrel to date in a receiver, however the physical appearance and finish is fantastic. If it performs as good as it looks it will be awesome! The price is also friendly compared to other manufacturers barrels! Thanks Faxon
