Faxon Fx7 Short Action .478 Blk

The Faxon Firearms FX-7 Short Action with .478 Black bolt face represents a precision component engineered for custom rifle builders and gunsmiths working with short-action centerfire calibers. Built from 416 stainless steel with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated finish, this bolt features the corrosion resistance and durability demanded in high-round-count applications and field use across diverse environments.

The .478 bolt face diameter is specifically designed for cartridges in the .308 Winchester class, making this FX-7 compatible with 308 Win, 7.62×51mm NATO, .260 Remington, and similar short-action rounds. The 416 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel, critical for operators working in salt-air environments, wet climates, or extended field operations. The DLC finish adds a hard protective layer that resists wear, reduces friction in the action cycle, and maintains a professional blacked-out appearance. This bolt assembly is precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, essential for repeatability and reliability in both precision rifle builds and duty-grade setups.

The FX-7 short-action bolt is the choice for armorers, precision rifle builders, and end-users assembling custom .308-class rifles where component quality directly impacts functional reliability and longevity. Whether configured for precision rifle competitions, designated marksman rifles, or tactical carbine duty, this bolt delivers the durability and accuracy-supporting stability that serious operators expect from a Faxon component. At 1 lb, the bolt integrates seamlessly into short-action receivers without adding unnecessary mass to the firing system.
