At the SHOT Show 2024, Faxon Firearms displayed their ARAK-21 rifle, which is currently in production and slated to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2024. The ARAK-21 is distinctive due to its combination of design elements from both the AK and AR platforms, featuring a long-stroke gas-operated action. Notably, it is designed to be fully compatible with any AR-15 lower receivers.

Faxon Firearms is proud to announce the newest addition to its growing lineup of FX-19 pistol options. The new FX-19 LT series includes non-threaded match series flame-fluted barrels, two different slide profiles to choose from, and an RMR/507C optics cut complete with a lower 1/3 co-witness front sight. These entries into Faxon’s own “Gucci Glock” series will run you about $800 which is slightly less than some of the other similar pistols out there.

Faxon Firearms have announced the introduction of a new ultra-light rifle, the ION-X Hyperlite 5.56 Rifle. The rifle weighs in at 4.93 lbs and uses a skeletonized lower receiver which is 2 ounces lighter than their standard lower. The rifle comes with a 16-inch pencil barrel, a 3-port brake and a 13-inch M-LOK carbon fiber handguard. Faxon describe the ION-X Hyperlite as a: “lightweight powerhouse for competitive shooters and firearm enthusiasts.”

Faxon Firearms has just announced the introduction of their new Faxon FX22 line of rimfire firearms. This new line of complete firearms will include several different options all featuring 10/22 style Faxon receivers and bolts. Options will include some of the more premium parts from the 10/22 world including Grey Birch and Hogue stocks, Fluted Faxon Barrels, and even Magpul stocks. All of these new rifles are available now directly from Faxon Firearms.

Faxon Firearms have announced a new line of lightweight AR-15 receiver sets dubbed X-Tra Lite. These receivers are based on the Faxon’s forged AR-15 receivers and are also made of 7075-T6 aluminum, however, thanks to the deleted forward assist, lightening relief cuts and skeletonized magazine well and top Picatinny rail, the X-Tra Lite receiver sets are two ounces lighter than their regular counterparts.

Taking advantage of the relatively new and unique 8.6 BLK cartridge is Faxon Firearm’s new OVERWATCH bolt-action rifle. While Faxon Firearms normally specialize in making some of the best barrels in the business, they also have a passion to create their own style of firearms and the new OVERWATCH rifle is here to help fulfill that goal. Full details and purchasing options are below for your convenience.

Faxon Firearms has just announced the introduction of two new rifles to their Summit Sentinel lineup of AR-10 pattern firearms. The new Faxon Sentinel rifles are chambered in .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor. Both new rifles will retail for just under $2,000 and come standard with billet aluminum receivers, heavy fluted barrels, Faxon M-LOK handguards, and ambidextrous controls.

Faxon Firearms’ line of high-quality American-made barrels has just received two new additions to their rapidly expanding barrel lineup. New Faxon Gunner Profile barrels chambered in both 300 Blackout and 5.56 NATO have just been announced and will come in two different lengths for each caliber and will each retail for less than $200.

Pistol compensators seem to be creeping into popularity within the concealed carry market and Faxon Firearms has been gradually expanding its lineup of EXOS pistol compensators to meet this new demand. Faxon Firearms is pleased to announce that they are adding the new EXOS-553 Pistol Compensator to expand their coverage to Glock Gen 5 pistols.

The legendary 10/22 has just received three new short barrel offerings from Faxon Firearms with the release of the new Faxon Rimfire lineup of barrels. These three new offerings to their already existing rimfire rifle barrel lineup all have fluted designs, threaded muzzles, and are all made from 416R stainless steel. The 10/22 has been a favorite firearm of mine since I was young and decades later I’m happy to see that new and interesting aftermarket parts continue to be offered for this robust rimfire semi-auto rifle.

Compensators used to be something you’d only ever find on competition-oriented guns. It seems as the concealed carry community has grown, however, more and more people are opting to train and carry pistols with compensators on them. It is for this reason that Faxon Firearms has developed and added three brand new options to their growing EXOS pistol compensator lineup to include compatibility with some of the newest modern concealed carry handguns on the market.

At SHOT Show 2022 Industry Day at the Range, Faxon Firearms and Q introduced a joint project – Q Fix bolt action rifles and AR-10 style gas guns chambered in 8.6 Blackout. The cartridge is developed by Q and the contribution of Faxon Firearms to the project is the barrels. Let’s take a closer look.

Faxon Firearms has introduced a new series of pistol compensators called EXOS. These compensators feature one large top port for muzzle rise compensation and angled side slots that “allow gas to deflect upwards as opposed to only deflecting sideways, reducing up and down muzzle movement and improving reliability“. Let’s take a closer look.

Right out of the box, most firearms are perfectly serviceable for most individuals. As your relationship with your gun evolves, you’ll probably notice that there are one or two things that you’d want to change to make it fit your exact purpose and task. Magazine capacity might be one of them but one of the biggest trepidations that newer or inexperienced gun owners have with modifying guns is the permanence of it. Faxon is now offering a non-permanent solution for those who want to squeeze a bit more capacity out of their Glock 19 pistols with their new Modular Magazine Extensions.

Owners of the Glock G43 and G43X pistols beware, there are new drop-in Faxon Match Series barrels available in various configurations and coating types. The barrels are machined by Faxon Firearms out of 416-R stainless steel and then given black Nitride or PVD surface coating. The Glock 43 is perhaps not the first handgun you think about suppressing, but it’s now possible with the optional ½-28 TPI threading.
