    AR15 Safe Space has Faxon barrels too.
    It's annoying, but you have to put them in the cart to see the actual price.

    Thanks, man. I looked but none of their barrels have the pinned gas block though. Did you notice the "A.S.S Swag" section on the top left on their site? I found that pretty amusing.

    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.
