Faxon Firearms Gunner Duty Series 5.56 NATO 11.5" Black Nitride 4150 CMV. Designed to save weight while still allowing for suppressor use long-term. Behind the gas block is a Government profile tapering to a shoulder and a 1.1" journal with a .625" gas block. In front of the gas block, the barrel continues straight to a 1/2x28 muzzle with full shoulder. Faxon Firearms barrels are the pinnacle of value. Manufactured in-house, these barrels are fully stress relieved, air-gauge tested, and 11 degree target crowned to ensure superior accuracy. Materials are 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.
