Have any bayou shooter members tried Facon barrels out? Did you get decent groups? Would you buy them again?

Subscribed. I have a 10.5 inch Faxon pencil Barrel that I will be using for an SBR upper I'm curious to see what others say

I have a 20" Heavy Fluted, 5.56 NATO, Rifle-Length, 416-R Stainless Steel QPQ Black Nitride that I built but have not shot yet but need to.
Wingate
PS my son has used them before that's why I got it.

I have 2 14.5 Gunner barrels and 1 14.5 pencil.
Accurate enough for me.
As with most barrels these days all 3 are IN MY OPINION over gassed.
All 3 cycle 100% on PMC Bronze .223 55gr with H3 buffers.
Longest I've shot the Gunners has been about 250yrds, hitting 10" steel with 1-4x without much trouble.
The barrel's accuracy and scope capability are beyond my personal ability.
I love how the guns handle with these barrels. The pencil is for my young son so I haven't shot it much.
I'm satisfied and would buy again.

I have heard good things about their barrels. I would have gotten one had they been in stock.

I did purchase one of their older mlok hand guard from them and it doesn't quite line up to the upper correctly, still works, just doesn't line up right.

I have been curious to these barrels at well, I think I will be going with their 10.5 for my next 5.56 pistol build. Will update the thread if I go that route.

I’ve got the 16* 9mm pencil barrel and matching bolt. Can bang an 8* plate at 100 yds all day long with a dot sight. The chamber is a little snug for my reloads with coated bullets but factory stuff is fine.

I’ve got a 12.5* Faxon in 6.5 Grendel. I have not shot it for groups. I got it zeroed at 200 and left it; rapid fired three into a 2* bullseye. From what I’m seeing so far it’s going to be very accurate.

Dan6726 · Jan 10, 2018

Thanks I’m gonna go ahead and order from them and give their 16* a shot

I’ve been thinking of buying a gunner, glad to see they work well.

Going from a std 16" Govt. profile to the 14.5 Gunner make the gun feel so much lighter.
I have a 16" Ballistic Advantage Hanson Performance series w/1-6x that will shoot tighter groups but the 14.5 Gunner with 1-4x is my "go to" gun most of the time.
