AP, guest, from CA, United States, asked on November 27, 2023

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

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Faxon Firearms, Manufacturer from OH, United States, on January 29, 2025

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
