Description
The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best performing profiles of all time, Gov’t and Pencil. Faxon’s Gunner profile combines the durability of the Gov’t profile with the weight savings and maneuverability of the Pencil profile. The Gunner profile brings the balance of the rifle back towards the shooter’s body, limiting fatigue, and allowing for shooting, training, or hunting all day long.
Faxon Firearms barrels are the pinnacle of value. Manufactured in-house in Cincinnati, Ohio, Faxon 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 beginning of the manufacturing process.. 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 with precision PTG gauges.

This barrel was used for a mid length commando build in conjunction with a pinned and welded 5″ KAK Industries faux moderator. The mid length gas system lends to a very soft shooting experience and my ejection pattern was perfect at around the 3:30 position using a H1 buffer. On top of that the weight savings from the pencil profile is significant and makes the rifle very light and handy. I enjoy this barrel so much I already purchased another one for my wife’s build.
I also plan to put together a suppressor host upper and may end up acquiring another for that build as well. We shall see.
