Match-Grade Accuracy & Lightweight Carbine Maneuverability for 7.62×39 AR Builds
This Faxon Firearms 16 Inch Gunner Profile AR-15 Barrel is a lightweight and high-quality upgrade built specifically for AK caliber AR-15s. This barrel can handle full-auto fire and is suppressor rated. The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best performing profiles of all time, Government and Pencil.
It combines the durability of the Government profile with the weight savings and maneuverability of the Pencil profile, which helps limit fatigue and ensures maximum versatility. It brings the balance of the rifle back towards the shooter’s body, keeping the material to the rear while maximizing heat resistance and mitigating whip.
