Had a rough start with gas port, but barrel weight and finish are nice. - Faxon Firearms 7.62x39 Russian Gunner Rifle Barrel

AZSixGuns's Review of Faxon Firearms 7.62x39 Russian Gunner Rifle Barrel
The barrel looks and feels great, but out of the box ready it was not. It was not providing enough gas to cycle reliably. I had put an adjustable gas block on it expecting some degree of tuning to get running well. Fully opened was not enough. So, I took it to my local gunsmith, he had to open the port 0.004 so this barrel cost me an extra $125 to get running.
I have not tested accuracy, but I do like the weight and feel with the barrel and a carbon handguard. It should make a wonderful rifle for wild boar.
I ordered a KAK BCG which is supposed to be tuned to shoot steal. If the bore is not too tight in this barrel, and it shoots steal, I can get back some of that $125 on ammo quickly.
I recommend with caution.
Pros:
Weight and balance
Cons:
Reliability issue
Would Recommend:
Yes
