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 Firearms barrels are the pinnacle of value. Manufactured
in-house in Cincinnati, Ohio, Faxon barrels are fully stress relieved,
air-gauge tested, and 11 degree target crowned to ensure superior
accuracy. Quality is imbued into our barrels from the beginning of the
manufacturing process. They start with the best materials, either
certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R Stainless. From there, each
barrel goes through a battery of tests at each operation until finished
in Nitride and final inspected. All barrels are individually checked for
headspace with precision PTG gauges.
