Description

The Faxon FX7 is a barreled action designed around the idea that you want to build your own rifle, your way. It arrives completely assembled with the barrel already installed, headspace verified, and the bolt ready to go. All you need to do is add a trigger and drop the whole package into your preferred stock or chassis.

The action itself is built from 416-R stainless steel with a 4340 carbon steel bolt featuring Faxon's Flame Fluting. The receiver wears a matte DLC (ArmorLube) coating that provides mil-spec durability and a low-glare finish. The bolt features a smooth 70-degree lift and clean operation thanks to the 6-lug design arranged in two rings of three—a layout that's proven reliable and compatible with Remington 700 short-action triggers, stocks, and magazines.

The barrel is where this kit really shines. You get an 18" Gunner profile barrel in 416-R stainless steel with 5R button rifling, honed and lapped for a smooth bore finish. The 1:10 twist handles common .308 bullet weights from hunting rounds to match ammunition. The barrel comes threaded 5/8×24 for suppressors and muzzle devices, and features a recessed target crown to protect the muzzle and support accuracy. Everything is finished with salt bath nitride (QPQ) for corrosion resistance and reduced fouling.

The integrated 20-MOA Picatinny rail is already in place, and the action is compatible with both AICS and AW magazine patterns, giving you flexibility in your build. This is a Remington 700 short-action footprint, so parts support is broad. Whether you're building a hunting rifle, a competition platform, or something for professional use, the FX7 provides the foundation with genuine precision construction and American manufacturing right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the FX7 come fully assembled and ready to use?

The FX7 barreled action arrives fully assembled with the barrel installed and headspace verified at the factory. You'll need to add a trigger and drop it into your choice of stock or chassis. No gunsmith work required for the barreled action itself.

Is this compatible with Remington 700 stocks and chassis systems?

Yes, the FX7 uses a Remington 700 short-action footprint and works with Remington 700 pattern stocks, chassis systems, and triggers. Some stocks may require minor inletting to fit the trigger hanger, but the action itself is directly compatible.

What magazines does this use?

The FX7 is compatible with AICS and AW magazine patterns. It also works with Remington 700 short-action magazines. You'll have solid options for feeding systems depending on your stock or chassis choice.

Can I use this with a suppressor?

Absolutely. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 at the muzzle, which is a standard thread pattern for common .30-caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just verify suppressor compatibility and shoulder requirements for your specific setup.

What does 5R rifling do for me?

5R rifling reduces bullet deformation as the round travels down the bore and supports easier cleaning compared to traditional rifling. Combined with the honed and lapped bore, this helps support better accuracy and consistency across different loads and bullet weights.
