Faxon Firearms, a family-owned and operated business, is deeply rooted in traditional values and is dedicated to producing high-quality firearms. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the company was born out of Faxon Machining, which was established in 1978. Faxon Firearms emerged from the vast experience and expertise in quality machining and engineering that Faxon Machining had acquired over the years, contributing to various industries including defense, aerospace, medical, automotive, and energy. The firearms division was founded by Bob Faxon, a passionate firearms enthusiast and lifelong shooter. His vision was to design an AR-15 upper receiver incorporating all the desired features he felt were missing from his current ARs, leading to the creation of Faxon Firearms in 2012.

Faxon Firearms specializes in engineering and manufacturing complete upper receivers that are compatible with any mil-spec AR-15 lower platform. The company focuses on innovation and setting new industry standards, evident in their product offerings that include a wide range of firearms such as the ARAK-21, various AR-15 and AR-10 rifles, 9MM PCC, Sentinel AR10s, and FX-19 pistols, along with an extensive line of rifle barrels, rimfire firearms, handgun parts, and other firearm accessories. Faxon Machining’s rich history of over 30,000,000 parts machined, with extensive experience in complex and high-stakes industries, has been channeled into Faxon Firearms, ensuring high-quality and innovative products. The Faxon team, led by Bob and Barry Faxon, are not only gun enthusiasts and marksmen but also committed defenders of the Second Amendment. Their approach to firearm manufacturing is driven by the motto “Manufacturing Strategic Solutions for Tactical Problems,” focusing on pushing beyond the status quo to provide unique and innovative firearms solutions.
