This Faxon barrel is comparable to Faxon's Match series barrels, except that these have a black nitrided extension rather than the silverish nickel teflon.

BFT, Sneaky, & Eric; had a great time getting together. You’re some great dudes!
I arrived home from Chilly MInneapolis, to be greeted at the door by my new 18” barrel, and GB bolt. Really excited to build this. I’ll catxh up with y’all on my next visit, in a warmer season.
Glad to see the Faxon BBL is there for you. I have a few ideas to help out I cali.
Brrrr in Mn lately....
Are you going to assemble -20-30ft lbs. of torque, then try it out? Or are you going to go for the full on of 35-40 ? After a twice at 40 , then off again,? Need to do that twice.
Mine should be here any day...and I can hardly wait!
Quick question: I know the barrel has 5/8-24 threads. Is the thread length on the end of the barrel the standard 0.6"? I was thinking about just using a thread protector since my build is primarily for hunting. Never used one. Most I've seen are 5/8" in length (0.625), but I've come across a few that are 0.750.
I was also thinking about using a 3 or 4 prong flash hider. One of my 4 kids (ages 8 - 16) might hunt with it, too. A brake would be perfect for the younger ones in terms of recoil, except for the concussion (and I don't want to have to wear hearing protection in the woods). What are you running for a field application?
At $6, cheapest I've seen. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the .625 and .750 you refer to are the diameter, not the length.
Thanks. Good to know a standard one will work. It's defintely .625 in diameter" (5/8"), but I had come across these two that were listed as 5/8 and 3/4 in length.

I hunt with my ARs. I used a 5/8ths thread protector on my Grendels. I have thread protectors on all my AR-15s (nothing to hide a flash from...and the brake on my AR-10 is more annoying than helpful IMO).
My first two grendels, I purchased 3/4 length thread protectors, and wound up taking them to the bench sander to sand about an eighth of an inch off them.
Sean, thanks for sharing...totally sounds like something I'd end up doing, too.
Randy, that's a great price. It looks shorter than it is wide, but it may just be the photos. Can't tell on Midsouth's website if the 0.750 is outer diameter or length.
So far the consensus for hunting seems to be thread protector. I wish flash hiders and comps came with a decibel rating!
The ones from Midsouth are what I have used on both Grendel and 5.56 builds. 1/2-28 for the 5.56 builds and 5/8-24 for the Grendel builds. I only have .750 diameter barrels and these fit fine. I'll see if I can get close up pic posted later.
