Re: BA Hanson or Faxon Pencil?
AR15 Safe Space has Faxon barrels too.
It's annoying, but you have to put them in the cart to see the actual price.

Re: BA Hanson or Faxon Pencil?
I ended up choosing the Hanson profile barrel because I found it a significantly lower price than I was able to find a Faxon pencil barrel with pinned gas block and nickel boron coating on the barrel extension. I installed it this morning and the balance of the rifle is completely changed. Totally worth it. I did weigh it and my scale was probably not working correctly but it said 17.2 originally then 21 ounces. The website said 22 ounces. For what it's worth, I weighed my government profile barrel the other day on the same surface and it said 28 every time. I'm going to try to get to the range tomorrow for a 50 yard zero and maybe shoot some steel depending on the weather.

I saw your classified for that barrel you're selling and the bargain hunter in me said, "Hmmmm...", but then I reminded myself that I've made it a point to only use pencil barrels from here on out.

I prefer Ticonderoga pencils.
