The Faxon AR15 Barrel in .350 Legend with 16" Gunner Profile represents a purpose-built solution for hunters and tactical shooters seeking reliable mid-range performance in an AR platform. Chambered in .350 Legend, this barrel bridges the gap between pistol cartridges and traditional rifle rounds, offering reduced recoil and hearing signature compared to 5.56 NATO while maintaining effective range out to 200+ yards. Law enforcement and civilian shooters deploying this round value its barrier-blind performance and energy retention in hunting and defensive scenarios where intermediate cartridges excel.
Faxon's Gunner Profile geometry delivers a balanced blend of lightweight handling and thermal stability, with a 1:16 twist rate optimized for .350 Legend projectile weights between 125–200 grains. The 16-inch configuration provides optimal velocity development—approximately 2,300–2,500 fps depending on ammunition—while maintaining a compact overall package ideal for vehicle operations and confined spaces. Machined from 4150 CMV steel with a hard-chrome lining, the barrel resists corrosion and extends service life under sustained fire. The dimpled design reduces weight without compromising structural integrity, and the counter-bored chamber ensures consistent chambering and reliable extraction across commercial and handloaded ammunition.
This barrel integrates directly into any AR15 upper receiver without modification, using standard .223/5.56 components and barrel extension. Hunters deploying subsonic loads benefit from the round's inherent suppression-ready design, while tactical operators appreciate the reduced over-penetration risk in populated areas. Installation requires only a barrel nut wrench and armorer's tools; proper headspace verification with a 5.56 NATO GO gauge followed by a .350 Legend specific NO-GO gauge ensures safe operation. The 1.39 lb weight maintains upper receiver balance, contributing to quick target acquisition and reduced shooter fatigue during extended training or field operations.
