Faxon Firearms has released a limited edition rifle called Mustang, themed after the iconic American WW2 warbird, the P-51 Mustang. The custom laser-engraved Cerakote finish that resembles the fuselage of the airplane is applied by One Off Coating LLC. The Faxon Firearms Mustang is the second rifle in the company’s Limited Edition rifle line with the first one being the Nautilus.

The description of this rifle on Faxon Firearms’ website starts with quoting Nazi Germany’s Luftwaffe Commander Reichmarschall Hermann Goring who said: “Whan I saw Mustangs fly over Berlin, I knew the jig was up“. It then goes on explaining the choice of this particular aircraft as the theme for this build:

When looking to a famous airplane for design inspiration of this limited edition rifle… the choice was easy. You have to start with the P-51 Mustang.

From it’s war history to the massive amounts of custom nose art, the Mustang is iconic, and we’re proud to pay homage to it with this limited edition rifle.
