The Faxon Match Series 16" Gunner Profile .338 ARC Barrel offers unmatched precision and balance for shooters who demand accuracy and dependability from an intermediate-caliber AR platform. Designed and manufactured 100% in-house at Faxon Firearms in Cincinnati, Ohio, this barrel brings together cutting-edge engineering, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship.
Constructed from 416R stainless steel with a 1:8 twist for optimal projectile stabilization, this barrel is stress-relieved, air-gauge tested, and finished in Black Nitride for superior durability and corrosion resistance.

Specifications
Important Product Note
Some customers may need to adjust their upper receiver feed ramps to ensure reliable feeding, particularly when using Hornady Sub-X ammunition. For best results, Faxon recommends using Duramag magazines designed for 400 Legend. Always verify compatibility with your upper receiver and consult a qualified gunsmith if needed. Faxon Firearms is not responsible for issues resulting from improper installation or non-recommended component pairing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Gunner Profile unique?
It merges the Gov’t profile’s strength with the Pencil contour’s weight savings—resulting in exceptional balance and reduced shooter fatigue.
Is this barrel compatible with a standard AR-15 upper?
Yes, provided it’s properly set up for the .338 ARC cartridge and uses the correct bolt and magazines (Duramag 400 Legend recommended). To avoid the need to modify feed ramps on your upper, we recommend our optimized upper for 338 ARC.
