The Gunner profile from Faxon Firearms blends two highly acclaimed profiles, Gov't and Pencil, to achieve outstanding performance. By combining the durability of the Gov't profile with the lightweight maneuverability of the Pencil profile, the Gunner profile shifts the rifle's balance towards the shooter, reducing fatigue and enabling extended shooting sessions for training, hunting or recreational use. Faxon Firearms manufactures their barrels in-house in Cincinnati, Ohio, ensuring exceptional quality and value. Each barrel undergoes meticulous processes including full stress relief, air gauge testing and an 11 degree target crown to guarantee superior accuracy. Starting with top-tier materials like certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R stainless, every barrel is rigorously tested and inspected throughout production, culminating in a nitride finish and final inspection. Precision PTG gauges are used to individually check headspace, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
