Faxon 16″ 5.56 NATO Pencil Barrel w/ Pinned Gas Block
The Faxon 16″ 5.56 NATO Pencil Barrel w/ Pinned Gas Block offers an ultra-lightweight solution without compromising strength or performance. Crafted from durable 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium (CMV) steel and finished with QPQ Nitride for enhanced corrosion resistance and longevity, this barrel is a reliable upgrade for your AR-15 platform. Designed with M4 feed ramps and a Mid-Length gas system, it ensures smoother cycling and softer recoil.
Each barrel is 100% manufactured in-house by Faxon from gun-barrel-quality bar stock and is subjected to rigorous quality control. Every unit is individually inspected and headspaced using precision custom hardened gauges to ensure consistent, safe, and accurate performance.
This model includes a pre-notched journal and comes with a low-profile gas block that is pre-drilled and pinned for rock-solid gas system retention. If you’re looking for added peace of mind that your gas block won’t rotate or shift under recoil or heavy use, this is the configuration to trust.
Faxon’s pencil profile is known for being one of the lightest available on the market. Designed with balance in mind, the Pencil Barrel allows shooters to maintain accuracy and control while dramatically reducing overall weight. It’s no wonder respected firearm builders like Robar, Kaiser US, and 2A Armament turn to Faxon Pencil barrels for premium lightweight builds.
