The Gunner profile is a fusion of two of the most proven barrel profiles government and pencil offering the perfect balance of durability, weight savings and maneuverability. By combining the robustness of the government profile with the lightweight agility of the pencil profile, the Gunner shifts the rifle's balance back toward the shooter, reducing fatigue and allowing for extended shooting, training or hunting sessions. At Faxon Firearms, we are committed to delivering unparalleled quality and value. Our barrels are 100% manufactured in house, from start to finish, ensuring rigorous quality control. Each barrel undergoes stress relief, air gauge testing and an 11 deg target crown to maximize accuracy. Elevating this standard even further, the Faxon Match series barrels take performance to the next level. Crafted from gun barrel quality 416R stainless steel, these barrels feature 5R rifling, a hybrid design that minimizes jacket deformation, enhances velocity and simplifies cleaning. Chambered in .223 Wylde, this configuration optimizes accuracy by reducing bullet jump while maintaining full compatibility with both .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm rounds. Every Match series barrel is individually MPI tested for safety and undergoes nitride treatment inside and out, enhancing bore integrity, extending barrel life and providing superior resistance to the elements. The nickel Teflon coated extension ensures dry lubricity, corrosion resistance and a tighter fit between the extension and receiver, further improving accuracy. Whether you're answering the call of duty or competing at the highest level, the Faxon Match series barrels deliver unrivaled precision, durability and performance built to excel in every scenario.
