Designed for those looking to save weight while still allowing for the use of a suppressor long-term, the BIG Gunner is ideal for suppressed shooters. All for just about a single pound.
Behind the gas block will be a Government profile tapering to a shoulder and 1.1 journal .625 gas block. In front of the gas block, the barrel will continue straight to a 1/2×28 muzzle with full shoulder.
Faxon Firearms barrels are the pinnacle of value. Manufactured 100% in-house from cradle-to-grave, these barrels are fully stress relieved, air-gauge tested, and 11 degree target crowned to ensure superior accuracy.
Quality is imbued into our barrels from the start. 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 by precision custom hardened gauges.

Faxon 11.5 inch gunner barrel
Got the barrel due to the Mid length gas system and overall length. Have used for about 100 rounds of 62 grain 556 and with Crux Saxon suppressor with good results. Was able to quickly tune superlative arms gas block. Frustration has been access to adjustment knob on the gas block given its close proximity to the muzzle device. Handguard is 10 inches and just covers gas block so clean look. Not yet shot unsuppressed but intend to. Also need more experience to compare it to the feel like a 10 1/2 inch and 14 inch barrels I have... Using on Stag arms left handed upper and used with a Toolcraft LH bcg.
USCould be better...
Nicely packaged by ar15discounts.com. Quality barrel. Threads and barrel extension came protected by plastic covers. 11.5” gunner barrel roducing 2-3 inch groups @ 50 yards. Same size @ 100 yards as well. Personally expected much better.

Hey Joshua, I apologize for the, less than stellar, experience that you had with the barrel. There could be a number of reasons, as to why the grouping may not be spot on. I would definitely check the ammunition that you're using. I would also look to see if maybe the sight that you have on the rifle is canted. It doesn't hurt to have another shooter try the rifle, as well. If you're not happy with the barrel, we would be more than happy to get started on an exchange or a return. Best, Michael Earnest

USFaxon Firearms 11.5" GUNNER 5.56 NATO Mid-Length 4150 Nitride / Melonite Barrel
The quality of the barrel are great. all the barrel that I own from FAXON has been awesome but this particular barrel is not so good for having a mid length on a 11.5 inches barrel is not cycling right and the accuracy is not good. Maybe if this barrel would have been a carbine length, I think the accuracy would have been better. Need more range time with this barrel to have more detailed assessment on this barrel.
USNice Barrel_nice finish in a medium weight
I’m still putting a lower together and have not used this barrel but it sure gets good reviews across the internet for being high quality at a mid-cheaper price. And the melanite process is applied very smoothly. I’d buy this again but shooting it will be the proof. I feel confidant I”m going to be super happy with the accuracy and weight.
