The Faxon Firearms 6.5 Grendel Barrel (brand part no. 15BG8M18NTMHL5RNP3) is an 18-inch AR-15 barrel machined from 416-R stainless steel and finished with a bead blast surface. Faxon builds this barrel with a 1 in 8 inch twist rate to stabilize the heavier bullets common in 6.5 Grendel loadings, a cartridge prized for extending the effective range of an AR-15 well past standard 5.56. The stainless construction and bead blast finish give the barrel a clean, low-glare appearance that also resists corrosion. Built by FAXON FIREARMS, this barrel is a straightforward upgrade for a 6.5 Grendel AR-15 build.
