Questions & Answers
Can you shoot 556? Im confused with what wylde means.

yeah. 223 wylde is a chambering that lets you shoot .223 and 5.56

Will a FSB fit this barrel? To pin on of course. Manufacturer Answer

No, the pencil profile uses a 1.1" long gas block journal which will not support an FSB. You will need a barrel with a 1.9" long gas block journal. Our Gunner profile is also a lightweight profile that has a 1.9" long gas block journal: https://www.opticsplanet.com/faxon-firearms-223-wylde-gunner-rifle-barrel.html

XCLNT barrel ... very light weight ... Tighter groupings than mil-spec standard barrel .. I installed the FAXON Gas Block .625 .. The 2 set screw design is XCLNT install design - just a small drop of LOC-Tite on each screw - PERFECT!

pencil barrel by Chip, Verified Owner, November 2, 2023
I have changed my view of the AR platform since my military time now that Father Time has added a few years. Now I understand it’s about how reasonably light a gun is and still maintaining consistent groupings. It’s no longer about weight and heavy ...

Dang good barrel by Gatorman, November 7, 2018
Installed the barrel in a low cost Anderson upper and bolt assembly, Midwest 13.5 LW forearm and a CMMG muzzle brake. Shot it today and it functioned most excellently but the muzzle flash was atrociously massive, so I’ll be changing to a flash suppre...

Awesome Barrel by N1C, Verified Owner, July 27, 2020
Just got this in for my first ar15 build. Its super light and seems to be well made. Be careful because the gas block journal is .625" and only about 1.1" long pretty much your only option will be low profile gas blocks. I plan to have a Franklin ...
