Alternative FAXON Match Series 9" Gunner (May upgrade to if 8.3" Ballistic Advantage Hanson barrel is unavailable)
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.
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.. We 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.

Adjustable Gas Block Upgrade
In a standard gas block, the amount of gas being directed back into the receiver is fixed. However, in an adjustable gas block, the shooter has the ability to control and fine-tune this amount of gas. But why is this important?
The key benefit of an adjustable gas block is that it allows for better recoil management and smoother cycling. By reducing the amount of gas that cycles back, the firearm can minimize the wear on internal parts and reduce the recoil, providing a smoother shooting experience.
Furthermore, the adjustable gas block can accommodate different types of ammunition, suppressors, and specific shooting conditions. Some ammo may produce more gas pressure than others, and having the ability to adjust the gas block accordingly can ensure consistent performance and reliability.
*We will use the Aero Precision adjustable gas block unless unavailable. In this case, we will offer a complimentary upgrade to the Superlative Arms adjustable gas block.
