Faxon Firearms FX7 Barreled Action Features The barrel is 416-R stainless steel that has been button rifled honed and lapped then finished in salt bath nitride for a hard corrosion resistant surface inside and out. It wears the Gunner contour a profile that keeps weight down toward the muzzle while retaining enough mass to stay consistent through a working string of fire and a 1:10 twist that suits the heavier .308 Win bullets used for long range and big game work. A recessed target crown shields the rifling where it matters most the 5/8x24 muzzle thread accepts common brakes and suppressor mounts and every barrel is magnetic particle inspected before assembly. The complete unit measures 25.5 inches overall and weighs 4.5 lbs which leaves real headroom for a chassis optic and suppressor before a finished rifle gets heavy. The action itself was designed to live in the aftermarket so it accepts Remington 700 pattern triggers and feeds from AICS and AW magazines two of the most widely supported standards in precision shooting. An M16 style extractor and a plunger style ejector handle case control and the straight bolt handle is interchangeable so a builder can fit the knob or handle that suits their grip and scope clearance. The bolt body carries Faxon s original flame fluting a nod to the company s barrel work that also sheds weight and gives debris somewhere to go rather than binding the action. For the precision shooter assembling a rifle around a specific chassis and trigger that combination of standards means parts are available today rather than back ordered from a custom shop. This example is a right hand action and builders should note that some stocks may require additional inletting to clear the trigger hanger a small amount of prep work that is normal territory for a custom build. Because the 20 MOA rail is machined as part of the receiver rather than bolted on there is no base to loosen or shim and the built in elevation bias hands back usable adjustment range for long distance dialing. Delivered as a barreled action rather than a complete rifle it lets a shooter spend their budget on the components that actually change how the rifle shoots. For hunters and precision rifle builders who want a modern standards friendly foundation in .308 Win the Faxon Firearms FX7 Barreled Action is available for sale at GrabAGun.
