If you’re looking for a more robust mounting method for your gas block… look no further. Pinning your gas block, in addition to the use of set screws, gives the user the extra piece of mind that your gas block won’t shift or loosen while firing.
The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best performing profiles of all time, Gov’t and Pencil. Faxon’s Gunner profile combines the durability of the Gov’t profile with the weight savings and maneuverability of the Pencil profile. The Gunner profile brings the balance of the rifle back towards the shooter’s body, limiting fatigue, and allowing for shooting, training, or hunting all day long.
Faxon Firearms barrels are the pinnacle of value.

Quality is imbued into our barrels from the beginning of the manufacturing process.. We start with the best materials, either certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R Stainless. From there, each barrel goes through a battery of tests at each operation until finished in Nitride and final inspected. All barrels are individually checked for headspace with precision PTG gauges.

Great Option
Pinning and welding is still a great option if you want compact but don't want to go SBR or pistol. It gives you plenty of space for as much handguard as a reasonably tall guy can use without putting a silly 15" rail on with 4-5" of it sticking out in front of your hand. Great quality nitrided barrel, but not without its quirks. Faxon still refuses to dimple the gas block seat even though the set screw gas block you'll use is included on this one. The included pin is a roll pin, not a tapered solid pin, so if you're a purist, this doesn't get you there. But set screw plus roll pin seems like plenty of assurance, and maybe you don't have to dimple especially with the pin. Excellent service from AR15Discounts.com.
