Faxon Ar15 Barrel 5.56 Nato - 16" 1:8 Pencil Profile Blk

The Faxon AR15 Barrel 5.56 NATO - 16" 1:8 Pencil Profile in Black is a precision-engineered barrel designed for shooters who demand accuracy, reliability, and lightweight handling in their modern sporting rifle or defensive platform. This barrel is suitable for law enforcement, military personnel, and serious civilian marksmen, combining Faxon's reputation for quality with a profile that balances velocity retention and maneuverability.

The 16-inch length positions this barrel well for tactical applications—short enough for close-quarters work while maintaining effective velocity and sight radius for precision fire at intermediate ranges. The 1:8 twist rate provides stable flight for a wide range of bullet weights, from 55-grain full-metal-jacket rounds to heavier 77-grain match-grade loads. The pencil profile design minimizes weight, which is critical in duty rifles and extended operations, while still managing heat buildup during sustained fire.

This barrel integrates seamlessly with standard AR-15 upper receivers, making it a versatile choice for various builds. Its matte black finish resists corrosion and glare, meeting mil-spec aesthetic and functional standards. Shooters looking for a lightweight yet durable barrel will find the Faxon AR15 Barrel an excellent addition to their firearm setup.
