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.
The extension is coated in Nickel Teflon which maintains incredible dry lubricity, corrosion resistance, and with the coating, tightens up fit between the extension and receiver - again improving upon accuracy. Combined, the Match Series of barrels are ready for when duty calls or the buzzer beeps with unrivaled performance value.
Manufactured 100% in-house from gun-barrel-quality bar-stock, the Match Series starts with 416-R in 5R rifling. 5R is a hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles that reduces jacket deformation increasing velocity and easy cleaning.
Faxon 20" 6mm ARC Match Fluted Barrel great performance at a great price

I was skeptical about Faxon Arms barrels. I received my order shortly after placing it and I was pleasantly surprised with the barrel's Nitrate finish. I paired the barrel with a Superlative Arms adjustable gas block and installed it onto an AeroPrecision upper and lower; a Timney 3.5 lbs competition trigger; and topped it with a Vortex PST 2-10x3...Read MoreRead more about I was skeptical about Faxon Arms
2mm adjustable scope with Milliradian reticle.
Braking in the barrel I obtain sub-MOA groups at 100 yards. I used Hornady Black Ammunition with 105g BTHP. All the 3 shot groups averaged 0.595 inches with the smallest being 0.520 and the largest 0.642. I did not chronograph the muzzle velocity.
In all, I am very happy about this purchase. I am excited to see the groups shrink as the barrel is fully broken and I introduce my own hand loads to improve accuracy. I have pictures of the rifle and the targets, I just need to figure out how to upload them to this site. I have no reservation about recommending this barrel and I would buy it again.

I had my reservations about Faxon barrels. I am pleasantly surprised about the quality of the barrel finish and the mirror-like polish of the lands and grooves. The R5 rifling appears consistent. The barrel extension creates a tight fit with the receiver, which should help the accuracy. Stand by for range review.

I ordered this Faxon barrel for a 6mm ARC I put together. I have not shot it yet due to ammunition scarcity. I was disappointed with tooling chatter marks on the star chamber and a couple scratches on the sharp edges of the fluting showing bare metal even though it is nitrided. We'll see how it shoots. A similar Criterion barrel in a different cal...Read MoreRead more about I ordered this Faxon barrel for a 6mm
