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.
Faxon’s MATCH SERIES of barrels takes our renowned performance and value up a notch.
Manufactured 100% in-house from gun-barrel-quality bar-stock, the Match Series starts with 416-R in 5R rifling. 5R is a hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles that reduces jacket deformation increasing velocity and easy cleaning. We chamber our Match Series in .223 Wylde, a hybrid chamber that the 5R rifling takes full advantage of. Better accuracy through less bullet jump, but fully and individually MPI tested for your safety. After rigorous testing, the barrels are Nitride treated inside and out, locking in the bore, improving barrel life, and keeping the elements at bay.
The extension is coated in Nickel Teflon which maintains incredible dry lubricity, corrosion resistance, and with the coating, tightens up fit between the extension and receiver – again improving upon accuracy. Combined, the Match Series of barrels are ready for when duty calls or the buzzer beeps with unrivaled performance value.

Pencil barrel for sure
If you are looking for a real pencil barrel this is it. It was quite a bit thinner than I was expecting which isn't it's fault. If you are looking for ultra light weight this is definitely your barrel. If, however, you are looking at putting a whole mag or two down range in one string I would recommend going with the gunner profile instead. Also, it would be nice if this barrel came dimpled for a set screw style gas block...but it's still a nice barrel.
LOVE IT!!!
extremely super light, accurate and easy to handle. no problem with heat for majority of AR shooters that dont perform mag dumps (ammo expensive as hell!!!). perfect fit, finish, color and looks beautiful as well. once you get ultra light pencil barrel you never wanna go back to standard barrels.
