Faxon Bbl 6mm Arc 16" Gnnr

The Faxon Bbl 6mm Arc 16" Gnnr is a match-grade rifle barrel engineered for shooters who demand precision and reliability in the emerging 6mm ARC cartridge platform. Purpose-built for modern sporting rifles and tactical builds, this 16-inch barrel strikes the critical balance between velocity retention and practical carbine handling—ideal for medium-range engagements from 100 to 600 yards. Whether you're building a precision hunting rifle, a competition platform, or a duty-ready carbine, the 6mm ARC delivers superior ballistics in a compact form factor that doesn't sacrifice downrange performance.

Faxon Firearms' gunner-grade barrel exhibits cold-hammer-forged construction, a process that ensures minimal concentricity runout and consistent bore dimensions critical for sub-MOA accuracy. The 16-inch length optimizes muzzle velocity for the 6mm ARC cartridge—generating approximately 2,750 feet per second with typical 108-grain projectiles—while maintaining a lightweight profile at just 1.75 pounds. Precision machining and tight tolerances throughout the barrel extension and chamber ensure reliable feeding across quality ammunition and aftermarket brass, reducing fouling and extending barrel life in high-round-count scenarios.

This barrel excels for precision rifle builds, tactical carbines, and competition shooters migrating to the 6mm ARC platform for its superior long-range capability and reduced recoil compared to .308 Winchester. Installation requires standard AR-15 upper receiver tools and armorer's wrench; the Faxon Bbl 6mm Arc 16" Gnnr uses industry-standard M4 feed ramps and .308-pattern magazine compatibility. Optimal performance pairs with quality reloading dies, 6mm ARC-spec ammunition, and a properly torqued barrel nut to specification—consult your upper receiver manufacturer for compatibility confirmation before final assembly.
