Hidaro's Review of Faxon Firearms .223 Wylde Gunner Profile AR-15 Rifle Barrel

This is my second Faxon "Match" barrel I've had. The first was mediocre, so I replaced it with this one and it's terrible. Frankly when the barrel showed up packaged in a plastic bag with zero padding or packaging - partially protruding from the box opticsplanet hastily shipped it in, I should have tempered my expectations.

2.0 MOA with any ammo I put through it. Sierra Matchkings, 55/62/68/67 OTM, anything - nada. I'm waiting for Faxon to respond to my email but frankly when they replace my barrel it's getting sold instantly.

Additionally, when I took my barrel to gunsmith to get dimpled he said the gas port was drilled a bit off center so my dimpled gas block would need to ride a bit canted to match. WTF?

My old Criterion could spit sub-MOA any day of the week. Shame they're sold out all the time.

The only accuracy review I could find on YouTube for these barrels shows a man getting a dud barrel the first go around, then the 2nd one he gets is only marginally better. I think I'm going to have to pass on Faxon.
