Faxon Firearms Big Bore .458 SOCOM 10.5in Gunner Contour Barrel Nitride

The Faxon Firearms Big Bore .458 SOCOM Barrel is a 10.5-inch Gunner Contour bare barrel from FAXON FIREARMS (brand part no. 15A45814P10NGQ) chambered in .458 SOCOM, a big-bore AR-15-pattern cartridge built for heavy, hard-hitting bullets at close to moderate range. Its 1-in-14 twist rate matches the slower stabilization needs of .458 SOCOM’s large-diameter bullets, and the Gunner Contour profile balances weight with barrel stiffness. It carries a nitride finish and is sold as a barrel only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this barrel make my AR-15 an SBR? No. A barrel sold on its own is not a regulated firearm. Installing this barrel on a complete, already-assembled rifle lower with a shoulder stock requires an approved ATF Form 1 before assembly; building it as a pistol with no stock avoids that requirement entirely.

What twist rate does .458 SOCOM need? This barrel uses a 1-in-14 twist, matched to stabilize .458 SOCOM’s large-diameter, heavy bullets.
