Our pencil barrels are the lightest in the industry. Don’t take just our word for it, major companies like Robar, Kaiser US, 2A Armament, and others choose Faxon pencils for their ideal balance of weight and performance.
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
I built a light weight AR with one of these barrels. Faxon is the best, and so is AR15Discounts.com I'm happy : )
USGreat shooting barrel.
I have used several Faxon barrels, this one was a particularly good shooter with M855, 3/4" at 50yd, red dot, off a bag. The gunner and pencil barrels are soooo sweet. I dimpled this one for a gas block, just wish they came dimpled factory. Highly recommend.
USSweet barrel
Light and accurate. Good fit and finish. Enough said?
USFaxon pencil barrel
Like all Faxon barrels I have the quality of the barrel is excellent. I haven’t shot it enough to make a judgment on the loss of accuracy when the barrel gets hot like everyone claims. Hot or cold it is as accurate as I will ever need it to be. It is pretty light and that’s what I was looking for , I think a tad bit over a pound.
USGreat Price!
Faxon Firearms 16" PENCIL 5.56 NATO Mid-Length is my absolute favorite barrel. Couldn’t pass it up.
