The Faxon AR15 Barrel in 5.56 NATO with a length of 12.5 inches and a 1:8 twist rate features a Gunner profile and a black finish. Faxon Firearms is a reputable manufacturer known for producing high-quality firearm components, including barrels.

The 5.56 NATO chamber is a standard chamber that can safely accommodate both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. The 12.5-inch length makes it a compact option for an AR-15 platform, suitable for shorter barrel configurations.

The 1:8 twist rate indicates that the rifling inside the barrel completes one full revolution every 8 inches. This twist rate is versatile and can effectively stabilize a wide range of bullet weights commonly used in 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition.

The Gunner profile is a Faxon-specific barrel contour that combines weight savings and enhanced cooling properties. It typically features a thicker profile near the chamber and gas block area, gradually tapering down toward the muzzle to reduce overall weight while maintaining rigidity and optimal heat dissipation.

The black finish mentioned refers to the external coating of the barrel, providing corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance.
