18.6 inch AR barrels with integrated muzzle brake/flash hider

[PZero]

I emailed Faxon when they first came out with their integral muzzle brake barrels to ask about a 18.6" barrel. They told me the did have any orders yet from any of their Canadian distributors. I would only be able to get one through them and they won't be producing them for the US market. This was a couple months ago when I got the response.

Here is hoping....

HM MONOBLOCK are a good looking option. Wonder if that’d be an option?

Brilliant idea, This would be enough for me to get in line for a modern sporter, or even just buy for future builds.

I think something pretty general would keep most people interested until purchase.

Faxon gunner type profile
Black
5.56/.223 caliber 1:8 twist
Mid or Rifle length gas port
18.6 total length (16.6" barrel, 2" muzzle device)
Flash hider over muzzle brake for not having side concussion
No open fork type flash hider to avoid "ringing" also to avoid snagging
Something with similar design, but better aesthetics than an A2, (like a Surefire socom closed tine flash hider)


This would likely be a safe setup. I'd preorder in a heartbeat

This would be a winner for me as well. Some really good points here. Would definitely be a catalyst for a atrs MS build...

I agree gents, I’m planning my Sporter build and a shorter overall length barrel with built in muzzle device would be pretty slick.

I agree. I hate brakes.

Wow this is an amazing idea.

Exactly dude you put it in words perfectly. Thatd definitely be the most popular barrel for ALOT of us.
