Installed the 18in rifle length for my first AR build , laser bore sighted my iron sights in my house the went out to the range and was able to consistently hit man sized steel at 500yrds with consistency, with very negligible recoil . not sure if it was the barrel or maybe I’m just a natural lol jk jk could have also been my build but either way I’m a Faxon barrel Fan for life already put one in my Glock 17 and just purchased the pencil for my next lightweight AR build I’m currently working on
Pros:
- Quality
- cost
- Accurate
- Looks good
- fitment
Would recommend: Yes

Barrel came in today and it almost looks like it was used. Coating around the gas port is gone. Dings all over the barrel as well. Can do much better for cheaper.

If you are looking for a sub moa barrel for a great price look no further and add to cart. This is my third build with this barrel and I can't complain about anything.

There are reviews that say it is not a “match” barrel. That would be correct. No where does it say that it is. It says, home defense, tactical situations and hunting. Barrel shoots and holds true to the specific uses to what the manufacturer stats. Admittedly, the packaging is minimal. So, I don’t doubt some may have been shipped chipped. My barrel came without blemish. In my opinion, I got exactly what I paid for.
Would recommend: Yes

Received this barrel within a week. Packaged nicely and looked beautiful. The weight was light and the fluting made it look great. Fitment was perfect and had no issues. Can’t wait to use it on the range. I would definitely recommend this product to others and I haven’t even shot it yet.

So the markings on the barrel dont cause it to lose 2 stars. This thing shoots awesome. I ran handloads ranging from 40-77 grains and it has no problem with any of the particular weights I put through it. After sending some down range and bore scoping it - the finished machining down the tube looks like a mirror with very little tooling marks.
