Faxon Firearms 18" Gunner profile barrel w/ rifle gas

[BufordTJustice]

Just took receipt of my new Faxon Firearms 18" Gunner profile barrel with .625" gas block journal and rifle length gas port. I'll have pictures and weight later tonight or tomorrow.

So far, it appears to be very well made. QPQ finish is excellent, M4 feedramps are perfectly machined, muzzle crown is very well machined. I don't have a bore scope, but the rifling appears clean as well.

While not a continuous taper profile, like an ELW, it is light under the handguard and lighter from gas block journal to the flare before the muzzle threads. It does have a flare to retain the handguard cap of a set of plastic handguards.

Some basic specs: 4150 steel, air gauged, button rifled, 1:8 twist, QPQ inside and out, 5.56 NATO chamber, 11 degree crown, MPI.

I got a solid LEO discount, but threw in a gas tube as well. I was out the door for about $190. Can't beat that price with a stick.
