About this product

Faxon Firearms 14.5″ Gunner profile barrel chambered in .223 Wylde for optimal accuracy with both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. Made from 416R stainless steel with a QPQ nitride finish for durability. The proprietary Gunner profile shaves weight compared to government barrels without sacrificing rigidity. 1:8 twist rate is ideal for the widest range of bullet weights. Mid-length gas system. .750″ gas block journal. Note: 14.5″ barrels must be pinned and welded with a muzzle device to meet the 16″ federal minimum for rifles.
