The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best performing profiles of all time, Gov't and Pencil. Faxon's Gunner profile combines the durability of the Gov't profile with the weight savings and maneuverability of the Pencil profile. The Gunner profile brings the balance of the rifle back towards the shooter's body, limiting fatigue, and allowing for shooting, training, or hunting all day long.

Faxon's MATCH SERIES of barrels takes their renowned performance and value up a notch. Manufactured 100% in-house from gun-barrel-quality bar-stock, the Match Series starts with 416-R in 5R rifling. 5R is a hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles that reduces jacket deformation increasing velocity and easy cleaning. After rigorous testing, the barrels are Nitride treated inside and out, locking in the bore, improving barrel life, and keeping the elements at bay.

The extension is coated in Nickel Teflon which maintains incredible dry lubricity, corrosion resistance, and with the coating, tightens up fit between the extension and receiver - again improving upon accuracy. Combined, the Match Series of barrels are ready for when duty calls or the buzzer beeps with unrivaled performance value.

Rainier Arms will check headspace on all barrels and bolts that are shipped together. As we ship out of multiple warehouses, we cannot guarantee that a barrel and bolt will ship together. If you need headspace checked prior to shipment, please add the headspace service from the gunsmithing page to your order. PLEASE ALLOW UP TO AN ADDITIONAL WEEK TO SHIP YOUR ORDER IF YOU ADD THIS SERVICE, as product may have to go from one warehouse to another.
