Faxon Firearms Duty Series 308 Winchester 16-Inch Pencil Barrel

In the realm of precision shooting, the barrel is paramount. The foundation of accuracy and reliability begins with its construction. These barrels are crafted in-house with meticulous attention to detail. Each one undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process that ensures superior performance on every shot fired.

The journey starts with selecting top-tier materials: certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R Stainless Steel, known for their durability and resilience under stress. From this solid beginning, each barrel is fully stress relieved—a critical step to eliminate internal stresses that could affect precision during firing.

Precision is further guaranteed through air-gauge testing, ensuring uniformity throughout the entire length of the barrel. This meticulous process confirms consistency in diameter—an essential factor for maintaining accuracy over time.

A distinctive feature of these barrels is their 11-degree target crown—a design choice made not by chance but by necessity for those who demand pinpoint accuracy from their firearms.

The commitment to quality doesn't end there; it extends through numerous tests at various stages until completion. Finished in Nitride for enhanced corrosion resistance and longevity, each barrel faces a final inspection where headspace—the distance between parts when closed—is verified using custom hardened gauges designed specifically for this purpose.

These processes collectively forge a product where excellence isn't just an aspiration but an assured reality—a testament to craftsmanship dedicated wholly to enhancing your shooting experience.
