Faxon Firearms 16" GUNNER 5.56 NATO Mid-Length 4150 Nitride / Melonite Barrel 1:8 Twist - 15A58M16NGQ
In stock
The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best performing profiles of all time, Gov’t and Pencil.
Proving that every once and awhile, the Government can do something right, the Gunner’s profile from the extension to the gas block mimics that well-known taper. From there, innovation takes over and the Gunner moves to a .625 gas block journal and our famed pencil profile out front.
Removing the weight from the front of the barrel ensures maximum versatility and keeps material to the rear to maximize heat resistance and mitigate whip.
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.

Great barrel
Got a 20” for a build to compliment my A2, and damn, I love this barrel. Feels more nimble than my 16”. Took to the range and fired very sub MOA with 77gr Sierra OTM. Beautiful machining and finish. Ordered a 16” to replace my government profile club. I in my fifties, (qualified with a M16A1), soldier for 6 years and a tradesman for 30. My shoulders are trashed. Great barrel for an OG.
USBeautiful part, great service
The barrel I received looked used and dirty. AR15discounts was great and sent a new one out asap. The new one looks perfect!
USLove this profe
Haven't made it out to the range yet but I really like the weight and the profile, had to get rid of the old government profile barrel. Hoping it's as acurate as other reviews are getting.
