Faxon Ar10 Barrel .308 Win - 18" 1:10 Pencil Profile

The Faxon AR10 Barrel .308 Win - 18" 1:10 Pencil Profile is purpose-built for shooters and operators who demand a lightweight, accurate intermediate-length barrel for modern .308 Winchester AR10 platforms. This 18-inch configuration strikes an optimal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability, making it ideal for tactical applications, precision shooting, and semi-automatic rifle builds where weight matters. Faxon's engineering focuses on delivering consistent performance without the bulk of heavier profile barrels, allowing faster target acquisition and reduced fatigue during extended shooting sessions.

Faxon's pencil profile design reduces overall barrel weight to just 2.05 lbs while maintaining structural rigidity through precision manufacturing and quality materials. The 1:10 rifling twist is optimized for standard .308 Winchester ammunition, stabilizing projectiles from 150 to 180 grains with exceptional accuracy. The 18-inch length provides sufficient dwell time for reliable cycling in semi-automatic actions while keeping the overall rifle length and handling characteristics responsive—a critical consideration for tactical, hunting, and competitive shooting scenarios. Faxon barrels are known for consistent chamber tolerances and superior finish quality that resists corrosion in demanding field conditions.

This barrel is compatible with standard AR10 receivers and gas systems, making installation straightforward for gunsmiths and experienced builders. The lightweight pencil profile is particularly favored by operators prioritizing mobility without sacrificing ballistic performance or reliability. Whether building a designated marksman rifle, mid-range tactical platform, or lightweight hunting rifle, the Faxon AR10 Barrel delivers the precision and durability expected in professional and civilian applications where performance meets practicality.
