Faxon’s pencil barrels are renowned for their lightweight performance. Fully stress relieved, we carefully designed the barrel’s taper to remove weight while maintaining performance. The result is the lightest barrel in the industry – and one we are fully confident to put our Faxon shield on.
Faxon’s .308 barrels feature 1/10 twist rifling for full stabilization across all common .308 loadings. Our barrels are chambered to .308 Winchester SAAMI specification for maximum versatility. All our barrels are 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.

Good fit
Product fit perfect
USExcellent choice !
I am in no way affiliated with Faxon or AR15 discount so this is as honest as it gets for a review. As I unpackaged the Faxon 308 Pencil barrel, I noticed it’s weight as I was going for as light a gun as possible after which I noticed the quality of the machining done on this barrel (one of the nicest I have seen ). I have since purchased a Faxon 6.5 Creedmoor 16” and two 5.56 pencil barrels and will purchase many more . Oh and the first 10 shot group was 1/2 MOA @ 100 yds outa the box .
