The Faxon Firearms Duty 450 Bushmaster 16" barrel with 1-16 twist is a purpose-built replacement barrel for AR-pattern rifles chambered in 450 Bushmaster. Built from certified 4150 CMV steel and finished in salt bath nitride, this barrel delivers the durability and accuracy shooters expect from a quality Faxon component—without the premium price tag. Whether you're building a dedicated hunting rifle, a subsonic suppressed setup, or upgrading an existing platform, this 16-inch Big Gunner profile barrel handles the job with confidence.
Faxon manufactures these barrels in-house and subjects each one to rigorous quality control. Every barrel is fully stress relieved, air-gauge tested, and inspected via magnetic particle analysis to catch defects before it ships. The 11-degree target crown promotes accuracy and protects the bore from impact during cleaning or handling. The carbine-length gas system and .875" gas block diameter integrate cleanly with standard AR components, while the 11/16x24 muzzle thread accepts common suppressors and muzzle devices.
At 1.72 pounds, the Big Gunner profile strikes a balance between stiffness and practical weight—heavier than a pencil barrel for better heat management and shot-to-shot consistency, but not so heavy that it unbalances a carbine. The 450 Bushmaster's combination of power and shootability has earned loyal followers among hunters and enthusiasts, and a quality barrel like this one unlocks the cartridge's full potential. If you're replacing a factory barrel or completing a build, this Faxon offering represents real value in a no-nonsense component.
