I've been wanting to build an AR in 6.5 grendel for a while now. So after much research I decided to go with Faxon. I'm extremely happy with my decision. Right out of the package you can immediately notice the attention to detail and supior craftsmanship. Starting at the muzzle, you have an excellently executed target crown. It's well finished, polished and even. The flutes are highly precise and they're zero machining marks. The gas port is deburred and clean. The shoulder for the gas block is well machined and perfect. The nitride finish over the 416R steel is exceptional and is as even as barrel makers of twice the cost. The barrel extention finish is very nice and helps a great deal when cleaning. The feed ramps are smooth, polished and well done. The chamber is perfect. Very clean, smooth and done right. The 1st time I took this rifle out I used 15 rounds of 100g wolf ammo to sight in my scope. Once I was where I wanted to be I loaded 5 rounds of 123g Hornady Black ELD-M. On a make shift rest and less than 20 rounds down the barrel on a new build I printed a 1.87" group at roughly 250 yards. I was ecstatic! I can't wait to fine tune the rifle, get a proper rest and see what it can really do. If you're on the fence with this round or company please don't hesitate. FAXON makes an exceptional product for an amazing price. They will be my go to barrel on future builds and have gained a life long customer. Thank you Faxon and thank you optics planet. I couldn't be happier!

This is a great BCG. I'm extremely happy with the build quality. Very nice finish. Excellent staking on the gas key hardware, no tooling marks, very slick coating, MPI/HPT and an overall great product for a great value. I've had a lot of BCG from top names in the business I put this one right up there with BCM, Aero and the like. Odin works brings us amazing products and Optics Planet brings us amazing prices. I have been using optics planet now for this entire 6.5 grendel build. They have literally saved me hundreds of dollars vs buying from the manufacturers website. They have so many products in stock and ready to go. I'm already planning my next build and will definitely be using some of Odin works parts and Optics Planet services. It's a win win and honestly a no brainer.
