Thank you for the guidance. I am inclined to go with #1
 
I second #3 for the reasons listed above.
They have other profiles if you want lighter weight, just talk to Ryan.
 
I went with #1. Primary concern was weight, longevity/price/value.
They seem to get decent reviews accuracy wise.
Next upper will be in 6.5 and I will be shelling out for a CFW
 
What we like about the Faxon Match barrel (that we sell) is:
-5R Rifling
-Nitride Black Stainless Steel
-Fluting gives you a light weight for carrying, but with a profile more resistant to opening up groups with high volume/heat.

The Faxon weights the same as the Criterion, but isn't a pencil barrel.

I reckon both shoot good groups.

For those wanting a chrome lined CMV barrel, we also have the Stag-10 18.75 in stock.
We specified a match accurate, mid-weight chrome lined barrel, and Stag Arms delivered.
These are shooting VERY small groups right out of the box with Match ammo.
These are mid profile, suitable for hunting and match shooting.
Double lead lapped, air gauged, chrome lined from a company that are wizards.
A steal at $395 Canadian.
 
Just got off the phone with a Faxon rep, 100% stating its a standard rifle length gas tube on their 308 barrels. Not ARMALITE.

I've been running my 20" pencil barrel as such with standard tube for few hundred rounds now using an adjustable gas block; the protrusion of gas tube into the upper isn't as far as some on here would indicate needs to be.

What gas block are you using? I imagine some might be pin the gas tube in a different spot?

I had a Faxon 20" pencil barrel on my Stag 10 with a regular AR15 rifle length gas tube (Lantac Nitride), Superlative arms adjustable gas block and it ran perfectly fine with a V7 Titanium BCG.

No gas block should be pinning the gas tube in a different place - that would screw with the alignment of the port in the gas tube and the alignment of the port in the gas block. If a gas block is doing that, it's garbage and not adhering to the relatively known specs. of an AR's gas block dimensions.

As for the posters comment you're replying to. If the gun is functioning just fine the way it is, then the gas tube isn't protruding too much or too little. There's no reason to get hung about the protrusion of the gas tube into the upper receiver, if its all working exactly how it should.

That was the point of my post, maybe something is wrong with his gas block. And agreed that if it's functioning 100% it's fine the way it is.
 
I’ve had a couple different gas blocks mounted with no issues.
I’m stating against the false info people keep spreading on here about gas tube length and protrusion.
And what Faxon themselves state.
