Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary advantage of Faxon's new .338 ARC cartridge?

The .338 ARC cartridge, developed with Hornady, offers significantly increased energy compared to 300 Blackout when fired from an AR-15 platform. Its subsonic loads provide approximately 1.5 times the energy of standard 300 Blackout, making it a potent option for various applications.

How does Faxon's patented adjustable gas block prevent carbon fouling?

Faxon's adjustable gas block uses a unique design where the gas tube is pinned to a tab, and an external screw moves the tube back and forth. This isolates the adjustment mechanism from direct gas and carbon buildup, preventing seizing and ensuring consistent adjustability over time.

What makes Faxon's 3D-printed suppressors unique?

Faxon's 3D-printed suppressors, made from Inconel, feature a 'trilobe' design that increases internal volume by 20% while maintaining a low profile. They also incorporate advanced internal geometries with Chevron cuts and multiple gas pathways to enhance cooling and reduce back pressure.

What is Faxon's role with the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP)?

Faxon Firearms is a supplier for the CMP's M1 Garand program, producing barrels with tighter tolerances than original wartime specifications to improve efficiency. A portion of sales from these co-branded barrels goes back to support CMP programming.
