The 400 Legend has quickly become a favorite for hunters who want serious knockdown energy with manageable recoil, and Faxon built this barrel to make the most of it. The Gunner profile is the star here: it keeps the heavier Government contour back near the extension where stiffness matters, then tapers to a lighter Pencil profile forward of the gas block. That moves weight rearward toward the shooter, so the rifle points naturally and doesn't wear you out when you're still-hunting through timber or running a full day at the range.
Balance is the whole point. A muzzle-heavy barrel feels sluggish when you need to swing on a moving buck or hold steady off-hand, and the Gunner contour fixes that without giving up the rigidity that keeps groups tight. Paired with a carbine-length gas system and a Big Bore barrel extension sized for large-diameter straight-wall cartridges, cycling stays smooth and consistent shot after shot.
This one is machined from certified 4150 CMV Mil-Spec steel with a 1:16 twist that stabilizes the heavy 400 Legend projectiles nicely. The salt bath nitride finish treats the bore and exterior for corrosion and wear resistance, and the muzzle wears an 11-degree target crown for clean, consistent bullet release. Threads are 11/16×24, so you can run most .40-caliber muzzle devices and suppressors, and the gas block journal measures .875 inches.
Faxon makes these in-house in Cincinnati, Ohio, from raw steel to finished barrel. Every one is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, and headspace checked with PTG precision gauges before it ships. It drops into any standard AR-15 upper set up for 400 Legend, making it a straightforward heart for a hunting build or a straight-wall carbine you'll be proud of.
This barrel uses a 1:16 twist, which is what you want for stabilizing the heavier straight-wall projectiles the 400 Legend is loaded with. It keeps common hunting bullet weights spinning fast enough for consistent accuracy out to typical deer distances. That combination is a big part of why the cartridge shoots so predictably.
Yes. It fits any standard AR-15 upper receiver configured for the .400 Legend cartridge. You will need a 400 Legend bolt and magazines to complete the build, since those are caliber-specific and not included with the barrel.
The muzzle is cut with 11/16×24 threads, which is the standard pattern for .40-caliber straight-wall builds. That makes it compatible with most .40-caliber muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and suppressors. Just make sure any device you pick is rated for the bore diameter and 400 Legend pressures.
The Gunner profile keeps the stiff Government contour near the chamber where it counts, then thins out to a Pencil profile up front to shed weight. The result is a rifle that balances back toward your body, so it feels lighter in hand and swings faster on target. You still get the rigidity for solid accuracy without the muzzle-heavy fatigue of a full heavy barrel.
