Faxon ION Ultralight 5.56 Rifle
Sweet shooting firearm. If you are an older shooter and the weight of standard 5.56's becomes too much, this is the platform for you. Super light (4.95 pounds), accurate, and just fun to shoot.

Great rifle
Pros: lightweight and operates perfectly. Cons: it ate my ammo.

just as advertised! this thing is SOOO light compared to my other ARs! had an issue with my front takedown pin (the spring)...caused me a real issue...Jesse T. with customer service was amazing! returned all my emails and advised me to send the rifle back...they ended up building me a brand new lower!!! a week later, I was back in business! thanks Jesse! this thing is REALLY loud though...make sure you invest in some good ear protection! :) solid firearm all around so I would definitely recommend!!!

The best AR-15 I've shot and the star of shoot day
Shoot day is fun for the whole family, but there is always a few of the smaller folks like moms or wives that wish they could enjoy the 223/556 rifles. Now they can. Mothers day ended up with mom advance requesting this as her next/main shooter. Didn't think she'd ever get tired of the hitting the gongs and she's never been more accurate/consistent/fast! Light weight made it so easy for her to hold and shoot. Standing, sitting, bench and the brake made it gentle enough too.... I'll write off all the ammo as a mothers day gift ;)

Fantastic AR. Lighter than you can imagine. Shoots great and groups tight. Very good fit and finish. No complaints here. Thanks Faxon for a great First Responder discount.
