Questions & Answers
Is there a dimple to line up the gas block? Expert Answer

Faxon barrels are not dimpled from the factory. The end user/builder will need to dimple the barrel if that is how they choose to install the gas block.

Is it Cold-Hammer Forged? Expert Answer

I bought this barrel for a light weight build based off the reviews. I’m glad I did. Not only was the barrel light but also accurate. I was impressed with the performance and price that I bought two more, one 14.5” and another 16”.
