Anyone have tried this barrel? Am considering this barrel. Will be replacing a 12.5 inch barrel I currently have on it.

Tag - similar question, same barrel. Bought a new M5 lower and need to populate it, and wanted to make an SBR or pistol this time around. Having a hard time finding a 12-13" barrel...this is about the closest I can find.

And, also trying to figure out an upper/handguard situation to go with it - I REALLY like the Aero M5E1 2nd generation rail/upper setup - totally truly free floated - I've got a 18" already built with the setup. But somehow Aero only makes 12.5", 15" and 16" rails in that format/configuration? WTH? That alone kind of limits barrel choices especially on the shorter side of things...

Can sell you my 12.5 inch barrel when I take it off. Has around 250 rounds through it. Bought it from KAK Industries when I bought an upper from them. Am up by St. Cloud. Pm me if your interested.

I appreciate that, but one of the main reasons I'm looking at the Faxon is because it doesn't look like it weighs 8lb standing still

Sounds good. Doesn’t seem anyone has tried this barrel so hope to order soon to give it a try.
