So far so good/ go no go - Faxon Firearms .308 Winchester Big Gunner AR-10 Rifle Barrel

Jackal's Review of Faxon Firearms .308 Winchester Big Gunner AR-10 Rifle Barrel
Installation was a breeze. Visual inspection went well. I am running with a nickel boron Aero Precision bcg and everything matched up as hoped. For headspace I used Clymer Precision .308 match go/ no go set and everything went perfectly. I was a little surprised, due to the reviews, of how well it went, but the Clymer Precision's from Brownels, although a little more expensive, fit (or didn't fit) perfectly. No need for field gauge. I'm sure if you go with this barrel and a well known bcg you should be ok. I not only went with Aero Precision because of the brand itself, but also because they were one of the recommendations which can be found on Faxon Firearms webpage. I will update as to accuracy once I get to the range.
Pros:
Go/No Go + Weight/ Thickness ratio
Cons:
none yet
Best Used for:
Plinking/ Hunting - white tail/ Target
Would Recommend:
Yes

I love building ANYTHING, from chemical research, compter engineering, electrical engineering, all forms of audio, and even microcode.
Does it cost more to custom build? For the most part yes, but that is what makes it yours. You know every part, its strengths and hopefully no weaknesses. Its alot like car work. I hamdle ALL maintenance on mine as well as my wifes vehicle.
When someone else does it its not the same. They normally dont check every little detail like I do, since it is MINE. Ive seen too many almost catistrophic yet tiny mistakes made service departments. I believe this to be true of prebuilt ARs as well. If someone all day builds the same gun over and over again, eventually something may be overlooked. Besides they are building a gun for anyone. Not just for you. I enjoy having to show my friends how to use my gun vs their prebuilt AR.
