The Faxon Patented 16″ Pencil, 5.56 NATO, Mid-Length, 4150 QPQ Nitride, Integral Muzzle Brake AR-15 Barrel is a top-of-the-line option for your rifle build. Made in-house at Faxon’s Greater Cincinnati, Ohio facility, this barrel is designed to be lightweight, accurate, and efficient.

The integral muzzle brake ensures reduced recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots. Additionally, it meets the NFA 16″ minimum barrel length requirement.
The barrel is constructed from 4150 CMV steel and features a QPQ Nitride finish for added corrosion resistance and durability. Gas blocks and barrel nuts fit over the integral muzzle device. Backed by Faxon’s Lifetime Guarantee, this barrel is a great choice for any AR-15 build.
Quality is imbued into our barrels from the start. 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 by precision custom hardened gauges.
