Description
Rugged, reliable, and duty-tuned — the SOCOM standard refined by Faxon Firearms.
The Faxon Duty Series 14.5″ SOCOM Profile 5.56 NATO barrel delivers the perfect mix of military-grade durability and precision machining for modern AR-15 builds. Its mid-length gas system smooths recoil and cycling, while the heavier SOCOM contour resists heat buildup under sustained fire — making it ideal for both professional duty and hard-use training.
- True SOCOM contour: Government-style weight for heat control and stability during rapid strings of fire.
- Mid-length gas system: Reduces recoil and gas pressure for smoother cycling and longer component life.
- Precision manufacturing: Fully stress relieved, air-gauge tested, and magnetic particle inspected for flawless bore and chamber integrity.
- Durable finish: Inside and out black nitride treatment for corrosion resistance and easy maintenance.
- High-quality steel: Machined from certified 4150 CMV Mil-Spec bar stock for long service life.
- Ready for pin-and-weld: 14.5″ length accepts a muzzle device for permanent attachment to reach 16″ overall length.
