Reviewed on May 1, 2026Verified with Build
Faxon Gunner 16 inch barrel in 4150 chrome moly with QPQ is the budget end of their lineup but quality is solid. Chamber gauges clean. Mid length gas system runs smooth with M193 ball ammo. QPQ finish is holding up after 600 rounds without showing wear on the muzzle threading.
