Shwell Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Joined the site a few weeks and I am finally in the pre-assembly stages of my first build. Final assembly will happen soon, still waiting on a few parts and deciding on a few others. Most importantly, I havent ordered/selected the BCG I will be using for this build. 20 inch Barrel from Faxon Firearms (T&E item) Aero Precision M5 Receiver Set Midwest Industires 15" M-Lok Hand Guard (T&E Product) *Because of my Youtube Presence and where I work, some of these products were provided at no cost by the manufacturers. These include the Barrel and the Hand Guard. These items were provided for T&E purposes and will result in Reviews (Written and Video).. I provide direct feedback to manufacturers Daily, even if I pay for items. Edited March 24, 2015 by Shwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Is that a Mid length gas system on that 20" bbl. ? Never heard of this Barrel maker . Edited March 25, 2015 by survivalshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Is that a Mid length gas system on that 20" bbl. ? Never heard of this Barrel maker .This is that barrel. It's rifle-gassed.They're emerging as a good source for accurate AR-15 barrels. Robar is using their barrels in their X7 PolymAR line (guaranteed 1MOA or better with match ammo).

D.R.D. Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Faxon is a tool and machining company that's been around for 30+ years. They make a lot of precision aerospace stuff, and have been making OEM barrels for other companies for a while. They also make some of the lightest barrels out there.
