Quality is imbued into Faxon’s barrels from the start. They begin with the best materials, either certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R Stainless. Each barrel goes through a battery of tests at each operation until finished in Nitride and is finally inspected. All barrels are individually checked for headspace by precision custom hardened gauges.
