Faxon Ar10 Barrel .308 Win - 16" 1:10 Big Gunner Profile

The Faxon AR10 Barrel .308 Win – 16" 1:10 Big Gunner Profile is purpose-built for operators and precision shooters who demand reliability in a compact, lightweight platform. Chambered in .308 Winchester, this barrel delivers the full-power performance of a full-size AR10 in a shorter, more maneuverable package ideal for tactical carbines, competition shooting, and field work. The 1:10 twist rate stabilizes modern .308 match rounds and heavier subsonic loads, making it versatile across ammunition types and mission profiles.

Faxon's Big Gunner profile strikes the critical balance between thermal mass and weight savings—at just 2 pounds, it maintains rigidity and heat capacity without the burden of a heavyweight barrel. The profile's geometry resists POI shift during sustained fire and cooling cycles, essential for precision work. Constructed to mil-spec dimensions, this barrel features a standard AR10 shank and will integrate seamlessly into any AR10 platform, with proper headspacing and barrel extension installation required. The 16-inch length keeps overall rifle length under 35 inches while preserving effective range and velocity comparable to longer barrels in .308 applications.

This barrel suits law enforcement marksmen, military personnel, and civilian shooters building short-action precision rifles or patrol carbines. It pairs effectively with quality uppers, bolts, and gas systems tuned to AR10 specifications. Installation requires a barrel vise, proper headspacing tools, and AR10-compatible components; professional gunsmithing is recommended for optimal accuracy and reliability. Whether you're building a duty rifle, competition platform, or lightweight tactical carbine, the Faxon AR10 Barrel .308 Win delivers field-proven performance in a compact form factor.
