    Easy way for a company to raise instant capital for other projects while they take their sweet time filling orders..... A sad state of affairs; that parts of the firearms industry have apparently degenerated bothers me to no end.

      I just hope that they throw in another $155 barrel for the troubles. It's going to take a LOT from them to make me a repeat customer, a second barrel might not even do it. Now 5 weeks past the 5 week date........... after a recall......... and not a top priority to them??? I hear Faxon, I get a headache now....


      And now that I'm done whining, is anyone else making theirs into a "pistol"? I'm planning on a light, short hunting rig that will get a suppressor.

            EBR65,

            I think the logic of just the few of us who are unhappy about the customer service, product QA, follow-up keeping their word will be multiplied. How many of those screwed by Faxon are more into firearms in their respective groups? How many are asked by others in a group for their emperical based opinion? My guess is that the majority of those of us who have ordered one of these barrels. I'd also guess we have formed a strong opinion of Faxon.

              I hadn't thought of it to that extent, but you nailed it.

                That is what I was getting at in my post above. Every time someone asks me "what barrel for my AR build," an event which has been occurring more and more lately, I will most definitely NOT mention Faxon. In fact, out of sheer pissed-offed-ness, I may go so far as to say "anyone BUT Faxon."

                Pooch = screwed.

                  I have to agree with those of you not doing business with Faxon again. My experience was buying one barrel but being sent another (a 45 auto caliber that they didn't even list at that time) well I finally got the barrel I ordered, a 300 BO hunter pistol barrel. The communication was less than perfect plus the added wait time only added to my frustration. After reading of these problems you guys are having it reinforces my stand not to do any more business with Faxon.

                    I think I'm going to have to if I want it for Nov. At least get a dedicated pistol lower, mine will be suppressed as well.

                                I emailed Faxon yesterday.

                                They emailed me back today.

                                Comms are up.

                                We are extremely sorry for the delay. Your replacement barrel will be shipping out tomorrow!
