Great news!!! Barrel was sitting at my house today. Over all I am happy with FAXON. I will be honest I was starting to cuss them a little and think they were never going to get me my barrel back. That being said I wouldn't have said this yesterday but, praying that the accuracy has held, I would/will buy another FAXON barrel. That being said I would probably check with them first to be sure they think their barrel is built for accepting factory ammo/to the tolerances I'm looking for.
I do want to say that I am impressed with the company, I feel many would have just blown me off. I feel they went above and beyond by fixing my particular problem directly (didn't not make go through retailer or brand) and it did not cost me a dime, not even the shipping.
THE GOOD
1.All ammo now plunks, even my hand loads.
2.Head spacing with my bolt appears good, can't push bullet any further with bolt on barrel and slight gap before extractor grabs on way out. (I do not believe head space was ever an issue but it came up in this thread)
3.Compensator had been removed for me and was sent back as I requested, appreciated.
4.10 test rounds of american eagle fired flawlessly and did not stick.
THE NOT PERFECT
1.Slight ding at base of barrel, had to sand it off before it would go in reciever.
2. When looking in barrel I can see coating is gone where leade was extended but i don't see it being and issue, don't see how it could have been avoided.
3.It took 3 months total (wrong I think whole process was more like 2), feels like an eternity when you really want to shoot, and honestly it is a long time.
THE UNKNOWN
1.Have not tested for accuracy
2.Durability
Will update on both.
I want to give a thanks to Nathan for working with me and getting it done.
