Faxon’s Gunner profile blends the rigidity of a government profile at the chamber with the lighter front end of a pencil barrel, improving handling and reducing shooter fatigue. The bore and exterior are salt bath nitrided for durability, corrosion resistance, and easier maintenance. Each barrel undergoes stress relief, air-gauge inspection, MPI testing, and headspace verification to ensure consistent quality.
