Faxon Firearms is running a unique special this weekend to honor those who serve willingly after such heinous attacks in Dallas. Typical dealer pricing is 25% off. Email customerservice@faxonfirearms.com if you do not already have a Faxon MIL/LE/First Responder Account.

I have been working on a budget .308 AR rifle project with Tridentis Tactical. The center piece is the Faxon AR10 308 18 inch Medium contour Barrel. It provides quality at a great value. Barrels are one of the places you can’t cut corners in a build.

Faxon Firearms barrels are manufactured 100% in-house under ISO:9001 and AS:9100 (pending) quality certifications. The barrels are button-rifled and inspected over 15 times before it ever leaves the plant. Each barrel is air-guage tested to ensure superior accuracy.

My first impression was that the finish was perfect, a work of art. The fit to the Tridentis billet upper receiver was very good, tight enough to be accurate, no so snug we had to fight it in.

At a weight of 2.28 pounds, it has more heft than a pencil barrel without the front heavy pain of a match barrel. Perfect for a gun you are going to carry around. Ounces make pounds, pounds bring pain.

Initial testing has groups at 1.5 MOA with Federal Match ammo. Expect more on this later.

The barrel features:

  • Barrel Material: 4150 QPQ
  • Barrel Type: Button Rifled
  • Barrel Caliber: .308 WIN
  • Barrel Twist: 1:10
