Availability: In Stock
The Faxon Firearms Gunner 338 Arc 16" barrel is a purpose-built upper receiver component for AR-15 platform rifles, engineered to balance weight, handling, and long-term durability. Chambered in 338 Arc—a straight-wall cartridge gaining traction among hunters and range shooters—this 416-R stainless steel barrel features Faxon's distinctive Gunner profile, which splits the difference between the heavier Gov't profile and the lighter Pencil design. The result is a barrel that stays light enough for all-day shooting, training, or hunting without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for reliable, repeatable performance. The black nitride finish resists corrosion and wear, keeping your AR running clean through seasons of use.
The Gunner profile's geometry pulls the rifle's balance point closer to your body, reducing shooter fatigue during extended range sessions or field work. That matters whether you're zeroing for a hunt, running drills at the range, or working through a training course. The 16-inch length strikes a practical middle ground for most shooting scenarios—short enough for close-quarters handling, long enough to wring good velocity from the 338 Arc cartridge. Faxon's pistol-length gas system keeps the overall platform responsive and manageable.
If you're building or upgrading an AR-15 in 338 Arc and want a barrel that won't leave you gassed after a day at the range, the Faxon Gunner deserves a close look. Pair it with quality furniture and you'll have a rig that works as hard as you do.
| Barrel Length | 16 inches |
| Chambering | 338 Arc |
| Material | 416-R Stainless Steel |
| Finish | Black Nitride |
| Profile | Gunner |
| Gas System | Pistol Length |
| Platform | AR-15 |
Yes. This is a drop-in barrel for any AR-15 upper receiver. The pistol-length gas system is standard for 16-inch AR builds, so you'll pair it with a matching gas tube and bolt carrier group as you would with any mid-length or pistol-length AR barrel.
The Gunner profile is Faxon's design that combines the structural durability of a Gov't-weight barrel with the weight savings and reduced muzzle mass of a Pencil barrel. This geometry shifts the rifle's balance closer to the shooter's body, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions and improving handling.
338 Arc is a straight-wall centerfire cartridge designed for rifle hunting. Specific hunting performance and legal use depend on your state's regulations and the game you're pursuing—always check local hunting laws before purchasing ammunition or building a rifle for hunting.
The barrel features a black nitride finish, which hardens the steel surface and resists corrosion, wear, and fouling better than bare stainless steel.
