Faxon Firearms has once again expanded its product catalog, this time with drop-in Glock barrels. Faxon is known around the industry for its quality, and these seem to be continuing that trend. So let us check out some “Fax” on these Faxon barrels.
Here is what Faxon Firearms had to say about the barrels:
Faxon’s Match Series Pistol Barrels for G17 / Glock 17 are machined 100% in-house from stress-relieved 416-R stainless steel. These barrels are then given a black Nitride or PVD coating to increase lubricity, barrel life, and resistance to surface wear. All barrels are conventionally rifled to allow a broader range of ammunition to be used, including cast lead. The barrels drop into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing required. Better-than-factory tolerances ensure a consistent, tighter lockup than OEM.
