Choosing the Right Receiver for Your Build
The receiver is the structural core of any firearm, directly affecting alignment, reliability, and long-term durability.
At Faxon Firearms, every receiver is engineered and manufactured in-house in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio—giving us full control over tolerances, materials, and quality from raw stock to finished component.
Whether you are assembling a lightweight AR-15, a large-frame AR-10, a rimfire trainer, or a precision bolt-action rifle, selecting the correct receiver platform ensures proper fit, function, and performance across the entire system.
AR-15 Receivers & Receiver Sets
Faxon AR-15 receivers and receiver sets are available in forged and lightweight configurations to support a wide range of builds—from duty and defensive rifles to competition and ultralight setups. Forged AR-15 receiver sets prioritize strength and consistency, while X-TRA Lite receiver sets reduce overall mass without compromising alignment or durability.
AR-10 Receiver Sets
For .308-class and large-frame builds, Faxon billet AR-10 receiver sets provide enhanced rigidity, precise machining, and compatibility with modern high-performance cartridges. These receivers are designed to support heavier barrels, higher operating pressures, and precision-focused applications.
Rimfire Receivers
Faxon rimfire receivers offer a premium foundation for 10/22®-style builds, training rifles, and recreational shooting platforms. Designed for compatibility with OEM and aftermarket components, these receivers deliver improved fit, clean machining, and long-term reliability compared to factory alternatives.
FX7 Bolt-Action Receivers & Barreled Actions
The FX7 bolt-action receiver platform is built for precision rifle shooters who demand repeatability, smooth cycling, and suppressor-ready performance. Available as standalone receivers or complete barreled actions, FX7 components feature premium materials, advanced coatings, and compatibility with modern precision rifle systems.
