Developed in partnership with Q for the innovative 8.6 Blackout (8.6 BLK), the Faxon Firearms Big Gunner Duty 12-inch barrel is engineered for accuracy and hard use in AR-10 platforms. Each barrel is machined from 4150 steel bar stock, fully stress-relieved, air-gauge tested, and Magnetic Particle Inspected (MPI) to help ensure consistency and reliability. An 11-degree target crown supports precise shot-to-shot performance, while the pistol-length gas system and Big Gunner profile make this a compact, purpose-built option for 8.6 BLK builds. A salt bath nitride treatment is applied inside and out for enhanced corrosion resistance and wear performance, with a black oxide barrel extension for a clean, durable finish.
