Faxon Pro
Faxon Firearms · Carbine · In Production · 2022
Also known as: Faxon PRO, Pro MSR
Overview
The Faxon Pro is the mid tier of Faxon Firearms' AR-15 lineup, slotting between the entry Sport and the premium Premiere. It pairs Faxon's match-grade Gunner-profile barrels with an enhanced forged receiver set featuring a tensioning screw, a superfinished nitrided bolt carrier group, and a free-floating 15-inch M-LOK handguard. The Pro's defining trait is its breadth of chamberings: beyond 5.56 NATO, the line covers the modern intermediate cartridges Faxon helped popularize - 6mm ARC, 6.5 Grendel, 22 ARC, and 338 ARC - plus 9mm pistol-caliber configurations. Barrel lengths run from 8-inch and 12.5-inch pistol builds through 14.5-inch SBR and 16-inch rifles, giving precision and hunting shooters a deep menu of factory-complete options.

Notes
MSRP roughly $1,345-$1,630 depending on caliber and configuration. The Pro tier showcases Faxon's affinity for the ARC family of cartridges (6mm ARC, 22 ARC, 338 ARC) which Faxon was among the first to offer as complete factory rifles. SBR and pistol variants require appropriate NFA/legal compliance.
Background
Faxon leaned into the wildcat-turned-SAAMI ARC cartridge wave, becoming one of the earliest manufacturers to ship complete factory rifles in 6mm ARC, 22 ARC, and 338 ARC, using the Pro line as the proving ground for those chamberings.
