The Gunner profile combines two of the best performing barrel profiles government and pencil. Faxon's Gunner profile merges the durability of the government profile with the lightweight and maneuverable benefits of the pencil profile, offering a barrel that balances the rifle back toward the shooter's body. This design minimizes fatigue and allows for extended shooting, training or hunting without compromise. At Faxon Firearms, we take pride in delivering the pinnacle of value. Manufactured in house in Cincinnati, Ohio, our barrels are fully stress relieved, air gauge tested and 11 deg target crowned to ensure superior accuracy. We start with the best materials, such as certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel and ensure quality at every stage of production. Each barrel undergoes a rigorous series of tests at every operation, culminating in a final inspection. To guarantee precision and reliability, all barrels are individually checked for headspace using precision PTG gauges, ensuring flawless performance in every shot.
