The Gunner profile represents a disciplined synthesis of two time-honored barrel designs: the Government and Pencil profiles. Faxon Firearms, with its commitment to excellence, has engineered this profile to merge the robustness of the Government with the agility and lightweight nature of the Pencil. The result is a barrel that shifts balance back towards you, reducing fatigue and enhancing your endurance whether you're on a day-long hunt or an extended training session.
Crafted in Cincinnati, Ohio, Faxon's barrels are renowned for their exceptional value. They are meticulously manufactured in-house where each one undergoes rigorous quality checks from start to finish. Starting with top-tier materials—either certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R Stainless—the manufacturing process ensures these barrels meet strict standards. Every barrel is fully stress relieved and air-gauge tested before receiving an 11-degree target crown for superior precision.
Faxon's dedication doesn't end there; they apply Nitride finishing as part of their comprehensive approach to durability and performance enhancement. Each piece is individually inspected using precision PTG gauges to confirm perfect headspace alignment.
This attention to detail results in a product that stands as a testament to American craftsmanship—a reliable companion for any shooter striving for accuracy without compromise.
