Designed specifically for use with the Faxon FX7 Bolt Action Receiver, this 6mm Creedmoor barrel (Model 7F1BC675N26N24Q, UPC 816341028760) is machined from 416-R stainless steel, features a 26" M24 contour, and is finished in a tough salt bath nitride for extended life and superior performance.
Whether you’re competing in PRS/NRL-style matches, ringing steel at 1,000+ yards, or building a serious precision hunting rifle, this Faxon FX7 prefit 6mm Creedmoor barrel delivers the accuracy and reliability you need.
Purpose-Built FX7 Prefit Barrel for 6mm Creedmoor
This barrel is part of Faxon’s FX7 Prefit Bolt Action Barrel line, engineered to work seamlessly with the Faxon FX7 bolt action receiver as a true prefit solution:
Drop-in prefit design for the FX7 receiver – no traditional gunsmith fitting required
Precisely set headspace and tenon specs from the factory for consistent lockup
Ideal for builders who want custom-rifle performance with far less time, cost, and complexity than a fully custom-chambered blank
If you’re building a long-range bolt gun around 6mm Creedmoor, combining the FX7 receiver with this prefit barrel is one of the most efficient ways to achieve match-level performance.
26" M24 Contour – Optimized for Long-Range Precision
The barrel features a 26-inch length and a M24 contour, both chosen with serious long-range use in mind:
26" length – Ideal for 6mm Creedmoor, providing excellent muzzle velocity to flatten trajectory and reduce wind drift at distance
M24 profile – A heavy, rigid contour that enhances barrel stability, minimizes whip, and maintains accuracy during longer shot strings
Designed for PRS/NRL, tactical/practical matches, and extended-range steel where consistency shot-to-shot is critical
If you shoot out to 1,000 yards and beyond, or demand tight vertical dispersion at distance, this 26" M24-profile barrel is built for that role.
416-R Stainless Steel with Salt Bath Nitride Finish
Faxon starts with 416-R stainless steel, a premium barrel steel widely used in high-end precision rifles, and then applies a salt bath nitride treatment:
Benefits of 416-R stainless:
Excellent machinability, allowing extremely precise bore and chamber work
Strong corrosion resistance, especially valuable when shooting in varying weather conditions
Highly regarded for match-grade accuracy potential
Benefits of nitride finishing:
Increased surface hardness for improved wear resistance
Enhanced corrosion protection without the thickness of traditional coatings
A slick, dark finish that reduces fouling and eases cleaning
The result is a barrel that combines the accuracy of stainless with the durability and low maintenance of a nitride-treated surface—perfect for high volume and high performance use.
Precision Manufacturing: 5R Rifling, Honed & Lapped, MPI Inspected
Faxon builds this 6mm Creedmoor FX7 prefit barrel using a suite of accuracy-focused processes:
5R button rifling – Uses five lands/grooves and sloped sides to reduce bullet deforming, minimize fouling, and promote consistent gas seals
Honed and lapped bore – Smooths the interior surface for reduced friction, easier cleaning, and improved shot-to-shot consistency
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) – Each barrel is inspected to detect internal material flaws, helping ensure structural integrity and reliability
These premium features are exactly what precision shooters look for in a competition-ready 6mm Creedmoor barrel.
Fast 1:7.5" Twist for Heavy 6mm Match Bullets
The Faxon FX7 6mm Creedmoor barrel is equipped with a fast 1:7.5" twist rate, tuned for the long, heavy 6mm bullets commonly used in long-range competition and hunting:
Ideal for 105–115 grain high-BC 6mm projectiles
Ensures stable flight at extended distances, even in transonic zones
Optimized for factory match ammo and handloads that push the ballistic advantages of 6mm Creedmoor
If you run modern 6mm match bullets and want them to remain stable and accurate beyond 1,000 yards, this twist rate is what you want.
5/8x24 Threaded Muzzle with Target Crown
At the muzzle end, the barrel includes features tailored for practical long-range setups:
5/8x24 muzzle threads – The industry-standard thread pitch for brakes and suppressors on precision rifles
Compatible with popular muzzle brakes, suppressors, and QD devices designed for 6mm / .243 / .30-cal class barrels
Recessed target crown to protect the critical edge of the bore from damage and promote consistent, even gas exit for maximum accuracy
Whether you prefer a brake to spot impacts or a suppressor for reduced blast and recoil (where legal), this barrel is ready to host your preferred device.
Ideal for PRS, NRL, and Long-Range Hunting
The Faxon Firearms 6mm Creedmoor 26" FX7 Prefit Barrel is an excellent choice for:
PRS and NRL competitors – Low recoil, flat trajectory, and high hit probability at range make 6mm Creedmoor a top choice in practical precision matches
Long-range target shooters – Perfect for ringing steel or punching paper at 600–1,200 yards and beyond
Precision hunting rigs – For hunters targeting medium game where precise shot placement at extended ranges is required
If your goal is to build a rifle that can hold tight groups across changing positions, distances, and strings of fire, this barrel gives you the foundation to do it.
