Faxon Firearms 5.56 NATO SOCOM Mid-Length Barrel - 16" with Pinned Gas Block

Its heavier profile increases rigidity and optimizes heat distribution, enhancing accuracy and reliability under sustained fire. Crafted from 4150 chromoly steel and meticulously stress-relieved in-house, this barrel is built to endure. Button rifling and a salt bath nitride finish inside and out further elevates its durability and resistance to corrosion.
