Description

The Faxon Gunner is one of those barrels that makes a short AR-15 build feel right the moment you shoulder it. This 10.5-inch .300 Blackout version runs Faxon's Gunner contour, which takes the beefier Government profile behind the gas block and blends it into a slimmer Pencil profile out front. The result is a barrel that keeps weight back toward your body where it helps balance and heat resistance, while trimming the ounces up front that make a rifle feel muzzle-heavy. On a pistol or SBR build, that difference shows up fast during transitions and long range days.

What Makes the Faxon Gunner Profile Work

Under the finish, this is a serious piece of steel. It's button rifled from 4150 CMV (chrome-moly-vanadium) mil-spec steel with a 1:8 twist, then treated with salt bath nitride inside and out for corrosion resistance and an easy-cleaning bore. The 1:8 twist is the sweet spot for .300 Blackout, stabilizing everything from light supersonic rounds to the heavy subsonic loads a lot of folks run suppressed. Every barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, magnetic particle inspected, and headspace checked before it leaves Faxon's Cincinnati facility.

Building Around the 10.5" .300 BLK Gunner

The pistol-length gas system is a smart match for a 10.5-inch .300 Blackout, giving reliable cycling across a wide range of ammo whether you're running a can or shooting bare muzzle. You get a .750-inch gas block journal, an M4 barrel extension for a solid receiver lockup, 5/8×24 muzzle threads that play nice with standard .30-caliber muzzle devices and suppressor adapters, and an 11-degree target crown to keep your groups tight. The gas port is drilled after the extension is installed, so alignment stays true. If you're piecing together a lightweight truck gun, a suppressed home-defense setup, or a do-it-all compact carbine, this barrel gives you a dependable, accuracy-minded foundation to build on. Backed by Faxon's lifetime guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What twist rate is the Faxon 10.5" .300 Blackout Gunner barrel, and what ammo does it handle?

This barrel has a 1:8 twist, which is the go-to rate for .300 Blackout. It stabilizes a wide range of projectile weights, from lighter supersonic rounds to the heavy subsonic loads that suppressed shooters tend to prefer. That makes it a solid all-around choice if you plan to run a mix of ammo.

Is the pistol-length gas system on this Gunner barrel good for suppressed use?

Yes, the pistol-length gas is a natural match for a short .300 Blackout and works well both suppressed and unsuppressed. The 5/8×24 muzzle threads accept standard .30-caliber suppressor adapters and muzzle devices. If you plan to swap between subsonic and supersonic loads a lot, an adjustable gas block can help fine-tune the recoil impulse.

Does the Faxon Gunner barrel come with a gas block or gas tube?

No, this listing is the bare barrel only, so you'll need to supply your own .750-inch gas block and pistol-length gas tube. The gas port is already drilled and aligned at the factory. Faxon also offers a separate version of this barrel that ships with a pre-pinned gas block if you'd rather skip that step.

Will this barrel fit a standard AR-15 upper?

It uses a standard M4 barrel extension, so it drops into any mil-spec AR-15 upper receiver. Each barrel is headspace checked at the factory for a reliable lockup. You'll still want the usual barrel nut, gas system, and handguard to complete the build.
