I didn't do anything but remove the packaging and protective caps and snapped pictures.
The barrel 14.5" Gunner 
Muzzle 
I tried to snap some of the chamber and rifling as well, but they didn't come out all that great. Now I just need to order the gas block, gas tube and muzzle device. Then final assembly can take place and off to the range! |

Hi Nathan, any idea when Brownells will be getting more of your 14.5" pencil barrels? Thanks! We cannot directly advise on lead times to our dealers. However, we typically now have batches of all our most popular barrels no more than 2-3 weeks apart if they sell out. We just received a batch from Faxon. 14.5's included. http://www.righttobear.com/FAXON-FIREARMS-AR15-s/1883.htm Thanks to both of you. The bbl was actually already ordered by a frend with a bunch of other parts but I think he waited until the day they ran out to order. Sounds like it shouldn't be to long though. ETA: SailorJ it looks like you're already out of stock on the 14.5's again, must be a popular setup |

Any idea when y'all will have the 18" govt profile w/ rifle gas back in stock? A few weeks. It sold out far faster than we expected, but another run was already started. Any update on the these ? There is a Mega Arms barrel in stock at a local dealer that keeps propositioning me to take it home, but it's a bit heavier than I want.

If I am reading the specs correct for the 18" barrels, both the gunner and the govt/socom have the same profile under the handguards, but gas block to muzzle is the only difference (which makes the gunner 1/2 pound lighter)?
Maybe this is my simpleton misconception that thicker automatically equals better, but would the socom give me any advantage over the gunner? Is the gunner going to be as durable longevity wise? ETA: My goal for this rifle is mainly for 3 gun matches (so it will have an 15" handguard) and some 0-400 yard shooting. Anything beyond that I have my Rem 700. |

To your questions: -Yes, that is the difference and the reduction is that much. -It will be the exact same longevity for any of our barrels, regardless of profile (*unless firing full-auto, but that's another matter entirely). |

Since you are answering questions.
How confident can I be of concentricity on an 11.5" GUNNER. I will be using a thread on suppressor and don't want to worry about baffle strikes. |

Do you think the 14.5 gunner will have slight accuracy degredation with a suppressor hanging off the end as it heats up? I'd love to try one but worry about that.

Any barrel will as increasing malleability is a component of higher heat. The GUNNER series puts the material towards the rear. It should not be noticeable except at the most extreme temperatures. |

Thought I would post a pic of my two Faxon barreled rifles. The FDE one is runnig a 16" flame fluted barrel and the bottom one is using the 16" pencil. That gun has a full mass BCG but weighs in at 4.9lbs as pic'd. I will be using Faxon for a 300bo and a 308 builds in the future.
I like that you guys are now offering 5r barrel options. Perhaps you might introduce 6.5 Grendel barrels in the future.

It's got a SPR profile on it now, and if I'm doing the math right, I could lose almost a full pound. I originally built it for bench shooting, but now the purpose has changed. Do you happen to have handy the weight of the 18 gunner w/ gas block installed? 1.44 barrel alone, and I imagine the gas block is negligible, but just curious. |

Got the 18" GUNNER sighted in today at 50 yards with my favorite ADI 55gr Blitzking load.
It's only 50 yards, but I was impressed with the 10-shot group I shot to confirm the zero that I had just walked in... I'd say she's a shooter   Barrel is free-floated in a 15" Geissele SMR rail with a Vortex FH (which looks huge due to the GUNNER's profile). |

Shot at 100 yards lying prone using an old range bag for a front rest... lying slightly downhill feet to head and left to right side. 64 grn.

Just got some .223 69 grn. Federal Gold Medal Match but haven't had occasion to shoot it yet. 75 grn. .223 Hornady TAP (not FPD) and CBC Magtech 5.56mm 77 grn. was around 3.5" with a mean radius of 1.1" ish for both. That said, it shot all those rounds WITHIN the dot, on average (mean radius), at 100 yards. I personally can't ask more from the barrel/ammo. She's a gassy thing though, .81 if I remember correctly. I'm running the Vltor A5 setup with a A5H4 (-4) buffer and a green Sprinco spring. May want to consider an adjustable gas block, depending on your personal setup. This rifle started life as a factory DD V7 with a 12" MFR and a 16" .gov profile barrel. This setup now is SO much lighter on the front end its ridiculous. Shaved around a half pound (if my math is right) off the front. Try some 77gr Sierra Match Kings or Nosler CC. I've had rifles that were extremely accurate with 77's and would only group 2 MOA-ish with the Hornady 75. Other rifles that would shoot both well. |

I'm sure you have been asked this, but any thought on offering the GUNNER is stainless also? Also when stamping and engraving, is there a suggestion on how to protect the bare metal? Thanks!

Is anyone using a faxon 308 barrel with an Aero m5 upper? How is it running? I'm considering the 16" mid-length gas system barrel for my build. It will be used with a suppressor at times

Okay, Nathan I am curious now. Are you the "Nathan S." that writes on thefirearmblog.com? I was reading the home based FFL articles and saw this -
Its been an exciting year for me personally, with the move into the industry and a move over to Cincinnati for my role at Faxon. Great articles by the way. |
