    CLOSED 65G MONSTER 16 Barrel Buy

    Gentlemen, Esteemed Warriors, and Vile Unwashed of the Horde, here is our group buy on 16" 6.5 Grendel "Monster" barrels made to our specifications by Faxon Firearms.

    These barrels are built to the same quality standard as Faxon's Match series or Ballistic Advantage, but we have forum member's-only pricing on some cool features for a tactical or hunting barrel in a length superbly balanced between velocity and handling:

    • Chrome-moly-vanadium 4150 tactical tough steel in a medium-light profile for all-day carry
    • Black nitrided inside and out, including barrel extension with M4-style feed ramps, for all-weather durability
    • Mid-length gas system (MLGS) for smoother recoil impulse; gas block diameter 0.750"
    • SAAMI-spec chamber; headspaced for boltface depth of 0.136"
    Button-rifled. Hybrid 5R 1:8 rifling with our unique 5R-EE (Easy Engraving) reduced-height rifling for decreased bullet deformation
    • "Bull" chamber section reduces barrel whip for consistent accuracy while being closer to gun's center of balance for easier handling; also puts a good chunk of protective steel closest to the operator, where it counts in the event of an overcharge
    • Muzzle threads 5/8x24 with 11-degree target crown
    • Weight: 1 lb, 14.5 oz or 1.90 lbs.
    • Grendel "MONSTER" skull logo near muzzle!

    As always, membership has its privileges and we are offering these to Forum members for $167 plus $12 flat-rate shipping (AK and HI add $5) for $179 total (2 or more barrels add $3). Personal checks, money orders, or PayPal accepted.

    TO ORDER: Open the attached PDF order form below, and either PRINT it out AND MAIL it with your payment, or fill it out digitally and EMAIL TO ME if using PayPal.

    These barrels are in production as of this post, due in 8-10 weeks. Reserve yours today!

    Dammit! I just finished buying a 16” gunner earlier this week. This would have fit the bill and saved me money!

      Well, hey, if it's any consolation they're still two months out.

        I have seen the light..., and it indeed shines brightly!

        This looks like the perfect barrel configuration for my 65G lead delivery system!
        I'm in for a barrel!

              These will be just a hair less, because I reduced the gas block shoulder from the massive, unnecessary chunk it formerly was, to something just right.

                  I'm awaiting word from Faxon on both this 16 buy and the 12.7. Will keep you guys posted as soon as I get an update.

                      Newby here, what kind of accuracy can I expect from this barrel and the BCG offered on the group buy? Was a gunsmith back in the 70's-80's (armorer) used to building bolt action rifles and looking to try something new. The dreaded black rifles:-) Thank you!

                        Expect accuracy 1 MOA and better. Note that the group buy is for the BOLT only, not a complete Bolt Carrier Group (BCG).

                        U P D A T E : Barrels are going out for nitriding. Estimated 3 weeks until shipping for both these Monster 16s and the Monster 12.7s.
