Shwell Posted March 24, 2015 Report 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

FaRKle! Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 I have high expectations for that barrel. Looking forward to your findings.
washguy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Hi Shwell did you happen to weight the MI rail with the barrel nut included ? they look pretty damn good ...what did the torque happen to be on it when you installed it? :) Wash
survivalshop Posted March 25, 2015 Report 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
FaRKle! Posted March 25, 2015 Report 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).
survivalshop Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Interesting , photo's make it look real long past the gas port , optical illusion ? Will be waiting for a range test on this Barrel <thumbsup>

D.R.D. Posted March 25, 2015 Report 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.
