Faxon Pinned Gas Block — 14.5" Gunner Profile 5.56 NATO AR-15 Barrel (Mid-Length Gas)

Lightweight Gunner contour with a factory pre-pinned .625" gas block for rock-solid reliability.

The Faxon 14.5" 5.56 Gunner Barrel with Pinned Gas Block removes the headache of pinning by pre-notching the journal and pre-drilling the included low-profile gas block. The result is a secure gas system that won’t shift or loosen under recoil.

Our Gunner profile blends Gov’t durability with Pencil-like weight savings, bringing balance back toward the shooter for faster transitions. Built from 4150 CMV steel, button-rifled 1:8 twist, and finished in black nitride inside & out, every barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, MPI-inspected, and headspace verified.

Key Benefits

  • Factory-pinned .625" gas block: Pre-aligned and drilled at the factory for a secure, maintenance-free mount.
  • Gunner profile: Ideal strength-to-weight balance for duty, training, and competition.
  • Mid-length gas system: Smooth recoil impulse and reliable cycling across common 5.56 loads.
  • Duty-ready durability: 4150 CMV steel with QPQ nitride finish resists wear and corrosion.
  • Precision QC: Stress relieved, air-gauge tested, MPI, and headspace checked in-house.

    Great Barrel!

    Posted by Kevin on Apr 24th 2024

    This isn't my first Faxon barrel, nor will it be my last. These are GREAT barrels. The accuracy is well above the price point. I feel you pay a little more, but get a LOT more with the Faxon barrels. The Gunner profiles trim weight but hold up for longer shot strings.

    Better balance

    Posted by Todd Simmons on Aug 20th 2023

    It's balanced perfectly on my M4E1 enhanced upper. The weight savings from the length and profile made all the difference.
