Faxon's Quality Promise

Considered to be the "Heart of the AR-15", the quality of a barrel is very important to builders, manufacturers and gunsmiths. This is why all Faxon barrels are tested at multiple stages under their AS:9100 and ISO:9001 quality certifications.

After rifling, they test the diameter and concentricity of the bore. This guarantees barrels are held to within .0002" concentricity in the bore which results in fantastic accuracy potential.
After the barrel is profiled, it is put through Magnetic Partical Inspection (MPI) to ensure that the steel is structurally sound.
Headspace of every barrel chamber is checked by hand using their custom precision ground gauges.

Only after all of these quality checks is the Faxon Eagle Crest applied, signifying the Faxon promise of quality.
