Rick's Review of Faxon Firearms Flame Fluted AR-15 22 ARC Threaded Barrel
I built this AR in 22ARC using this barrel, a Hiperfire HPC556G2 micro brake, Anderson Adjustable gas block, JP polished spring, Kynshot carbine buffer, a BCA Side Charging upper/BCG, an Aero M4E1 Lower with Aero enhanced extension. Used a low-end free floating handguard for now, and a Magpul bipod. Added a Swampfox Patriot 6-24x50 FFP scope, with an Aero SPR mount.
After following Faxon's break-in guidelines, I am getting 1 MOA at 200yds (farthest I have went out so far), using a Lead Sled 2 and Hornady 88gr ELD Match.
This barrel has served me well! It slid into the BCA pretty snugly, without any heat, only using anti-seize. I built this to shoot far, with low recoil, and it fit the bill perfectly! Have not measured hits beyond 200yds, but our local range goes to 660, and that is the current goal- to get it out to that distance, and see how it does. I have high hopes for this barrel / rifle! This is the third Faxon barrel I have used, and all of them perform excellently for me!
I plan to install a JP bolt, and see if that makes any difference. Maybe change out the brake to a self-timing. If I remember to, I will update this review.
