Faxon Firearms 18" Gunner profile barrel w/ rifle gas

[BufordTJustice]

No, but we do fully clean it prior to the process.

Hand-lapping is very time and labor intensive. We do it for OEMs who sell our barrels, but not under the Faxon brand on the retail side.

Gotcha. Don't get me wrong, the bore looks great. I was just curious.

I honestly don't know how you guys can offer these barrels at these prices. Ridiculous value so far.

Ridiculous value so far.

That is the objective!

And despite it having a ~.081 gas port, I still adjusted the Ti Sentry 6 gas block down by between 4 and 6 notches out of the 15 total positions. That's 1.33 to 2 full revolutions of closure.
...
All this while running a Vltor A5H4 buffer with a tubbs AR10 flat wire action spring and an LMT e-carrier. Locked back on federal 100 round .223 value pack .55 grain (in the maroon box, at Wally world).

Recoil pulse was very soft. Having the significant weight reduction at the front of the gun was very welcome and easily noticeable. The EFAB provides a lot of stability.

We just received the first batch of Faxon barrels and will have them up in time for the holiday.

These barrels do feel light in the hand compared to most other profiles.

The 18" rifle has an .093" gas port, which seems to be on the lighter side with gas drive.

I bet the EFAB adds some "back pressure", making it run more like a 20".

Are you planning any lightweight 308 barrels?

Hey Clint!

I have A/B'd the EFAB with an A2 and the back pressure it adds is less than a single click's worth on my SLR gas block.

It seems they increased the gas port size slightly on your batch.

I'm impressed with how light they feel. Finish is good, as well as the muzzle crown.

Nice work BTJ! That is a slick boom stick you got!

BTW, is not the SLR Rifleworks Ti AGB the cats meow? Did you pick up V7s Titanium KMR clamp blocks too (saves .15oz).

Thank you, sir!

I'm loving the Ti SLR Sentry 6 even more than I loved their Sentry 7 in 4140 nitride. It's just an excellent piece.

I didn't do the KMR Ti clamp blocks from V7 yet. But I can retrofit those later. I did V7's Ti KMR barrel nut though. It's a masterpiece of machining. Basically half the weight of a std barrel nut.

The clamp blocks are next.

There's no other way to reduce weight while INCREASING reliability. These are the good ole days.

Clint, I just saw your email. Excellent prices on those Faxon barrels!

Yes, I don't expect these to stay in stock long!

Nathan, Clint or anyone else knowledgeable - how would these barrels work with a sound suppressor attached? I am specifically wondering if POI shift with/without the can will be noticeably more than with heavier profile barrels, and if the .5" diameter forward of the gas block would allow enough flexibility for weird things to happen with the weight of a can attached. (I am not experienced with suppressors, so apologize if this is a dumb question.)

If you pick the gas block option for the Faxon barrels you're selling, is that for Faxon's gas block or the BRT? Both are quality, I just wondered. And is the gas block pinned, or is that an option, if you buy a barrel with gas block?
