Faxon Firearms has collaborated with Q to develop barrels specifically tailored for their groundbreaking new cartridge, the 8.6 Blackout. These barrels are engineered with an impressive 1:3 twist rate, meticulously designed to optimize rotational energy transfer and maximize on-target performance. Manufactured entirely at Faxon's state-of-the-art facility in Greater Cincinnati, these 8.6 Blackout barrels begin as raw bar stock and undergo a rigorous machining process. Each barrel is crafted from 416-R stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional strength, durability and corrosion resistance. This material choice ensures that the barrels can withstand harsh shooting environments while maintaining superior accuracy. To enhance durability and performance, Faxon 8.6 Blackout barrels undergo comprehensive quality control measures. They are fully stress-relieved to minimize internal stresses that could affect performance over time. Air gauge testing is employed to verify precise dimensional accuracy, ensuring consistency from barrel to barrel. Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) is also utilized to detect any potential defects or imperfections that could compromise reliability or safety. For improved precision, each barrel is crowned with an 11 degree target crown. This crown configuration is known for its ability to promote uniform gas dispersion and enhance bullet stabilization, thereby contributing to superior accuracy. Following the machining and inspection processes, the barrels are treated with a nitride finish. Nitriding not only enhances corrosion resistance but also improves surface hardness and lubricity, further extending barrel life and ensuring smooth operation. Faxon's commitment to quality is evident in their meticulous headspacing checks using precision custom hardened gauges. This ensures that each barrel is properly fitted and functions reliably with compatible components. Backed by the Faxon lifetime guarantee, these 8.6 Blackout barrels are designed to meet the demands of discerning shooters seeking uncompromising performance and reliability. Additionally, Faxon RemAge© style barrels for 8.6 Blackout include essential accessories such as a thread protector, taper adapter and Faxon RemAge© style barrel nut, which utilizes a standard AR Armorer's castle nut wrench profile for easy installation and maintenance.
