Questions & Answers
Is ths Faxon barrel dimpled on the bottom for the gas block? Expert Answer

Faxon barrels are NOT dimpled from the factory. The end user would choose the style of gas block and then install it depending on the instructions.

seems well built by Greenie McBuilder, April 3, 2021

good barrel by Sean Hayes, Verified Owner, June 15, 2018
I was very pleased with the barrel. I can not speak on performance yet since this is for a build that is not complete yet. I was a little upset with the company since they sent me a $20 off coupon on my next order over $200. Before the coupon arrived...
