The Faxon Gunner 16-inch barrel is built for AR-15 platforms chambered in .338 ARC and configured for practical field use. Its Gunner profile blends the weight and durability of a government contour with the maneuverability of a pencil-style barrel to improve balance and reduce shooter fatigue. The barrel is button rifled and uses a 1:8 twist rate for stabilizing a broad range of projectiles. Designed features include a pistol-length gas port, a .750 gas block dimension, an 11° target crown and a threaded muzzle for compatibility with common muzzle devices.
