Faxon Limited Edition 16" Duty Series Gunner Profile, 300 Blackout, Pistol-Length, Nitrided, 5R
Faxon
Manufactured in-house, these barrels are fully stress relieved, air-gauge tested, and 11 degree target crowned to ensure superior accuracy.
Quality is imbued into our barrels from the start. We start with the best materials, either certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R Stainless. From there, each barrel goes through a battery of tests at each operation until finished in Nitride and final inspected. All barrels are individually checked for headspace by precision custom hardened gauges.
Great grouping/accuracy with Belom, Norma-TAC, Winchester T&P, and Sellier & Belloit factory ammo, all brass cased. I did shoot a mag of S&B mint box steel case from the late 90's and it did well too. I used a Faxon upper forging, a Faxon 13" G handguard, and Faxon Lightweight Gas block. The BCG is a BrownelI .I put a Vortex Sparc red dot on, but this barrel shot so very well, I may put a LPVO on it later.
Been waiting on this barrel for a while. Fit and finish was great, get one if you can.
Head spaced right and shoots straight. I wish it were dimpled though. I ended up throwing on the gas block as is because the drill press wasn't even putting a dent on the nitrided surface. I shot a bunch of steel and brass cased ammo through it without problems. The gas port size is correct, it cycles and locks open as it should.
