SHOT Show 2016: Faxon Firearms New Products

[@TheF16dude]

I LOVE your coverage of shot show. You guys are unbiased, knowledgable, and trustworthy. And the fact that you are Georgian doesn't hurt either. Thanks for putting the work in for us. Its great to see whats out there.

[@Bynming]

Everytime Eric says "you're probably familiar with this" I'm like nope. nope not at all.

[@fst66huh]

Hahaha that is correct sir.

[@josephmiller884]

same

[@simonsady768]

+Carl M Well, I think it's because of the fact he own a massive amount of guns in general, so, it's kinda normal for him. I am not trying to say he is measuring us by his own yard stick but...well...it seems to be :P

[@ShaDOWDoG667]

if you've spent enough time on the channel you would be.

[@simonsady768]

ShaDOWDoG667 I guess it'll be hard for him to show us all of them guns. I also think that he has videos that we haven't seen yet or maybe some of them are not displayed on YT but in some cases, I am also not "familiar with this" even I did subscribe like two years ago (2013) and watched all of his videos since.

[@Ericbbbb]

IV8888 straight up did THE BEST job covering shot. Great job guys.

[@paulb9090]

Big thanks to Eric and Chad for keeping us updated with SHOT show, it must have been a lot of work they did to put out as many videos as they did.

[@burrowsliam]

Huge fan and enthusiast here from Switzerland! Thanks for the amazing coverage for those who can be there, good job this year!

[@wowthtsgood]

I gotta say, your channel's Shot Show coverage is TOP NOTCH. Keep up the good work you guys.

[@chzzyg2698]

Faxon is a great company that deserves more recognition. When I was looking for an AR barrel, they took second place to WMD for me simply due to WMD offering a melonite coating. If you're building an AR, Faxon should definitely be on your list of companies to look at.

[@jimmy.3383]

+chzzyg269 Faxon barrels are melonited as well. QPQ is the same basically as Melonite, Nitriding, and Salt bath Nitriding.

[@chzzyg2698]

Or, maybe it was 1/8 twist that it came down to. Or, contour. I don't remember. I look like an idiot now. Bottom line: It's a great company.

[@jimmy.3383]

+chzzyg269 Lol! With as many companies that are out there it's easy to get them confused. Yes, they are BOTH, Faxon and WMD, great companies. I have had alot of luck with Faxon's barrels and thanks to this video I will be getting a rail. 149 for a 15" MLOK rail is VERY good! Another reason to love Faxon products.

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+chzzyg269 Don't worry, we do not take offense. Hope you think of us in the future!

[@AF-O6]

I've really enjoyed your coverage this year. Thank you.

[@ksdad2two]

been very happy with my FAXON pistol upper, got it mounted to a grey ghost lower and have a full auto pallamino State Armory bolt, and can't say enough good things about it !

[@WetaMantis]

Extremely good coverage! You worked your socks off!

[@kevinstafford4475]

Good vid, like the rest. Great ShotShow coverage, definitely some of the best I've seen so far. Glad to see Faxon continuing to grow and develop. I've had one of their uppers for a couple of years now that I put on a Anderson lower I put together and have always been very happy with it. Good accuracy and very dependable as long as I don't mess up the gas setting, LOL.

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+Kevin Stafford We heart you, Kevin!

[@maxhengst2252]

THANKS FO ALL OF YOUR AWESOME SHOT SHOW VIDEOS!

[@Bryce70]

I'm happy for Faxon and can't wait for their pencil barrels to come back in stock for my build.

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+Bryce P 16" Pencils are in. 14.5" will be done soon!

[@madacro5671]

I personally love my Faxon barrel! Bought it looking for a good alternative to some of the more expensive barrels out there, and liked the idea of the "gunner" profile. Couldn't be more pleased with the accuracy! Mine is an 18" Gunner profile.

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+mada cro Woohoo! Send us some photos, please.

[@jon4069]

faxon is incredible. I have a standard 556 barrel and the forend they offer. I'm very pleased. if I had more money to donate and get the arak 21, I would have it. can't wait to see a 6.5 grendel in their offerings. wouldn't hesitate to scoop it up.

[@Leethal1]

Love the Funker Tactical patch Eric!

[@TheDrunkardHu]

Man, you guys are just pushing content out right now! Grats on the press access!

[@sharkmjk]

I'm kinda familiar with the arack. it was one of the original ideas for an upper reciever for my rifle. I think we said it was a bit expensive so we turned away from it but I can't remember since that was like a year ago it feels like.

[@usadaytrader]

So it's officially been a year today since I preordered an arak31. I am still looking forward for faxon to honor the $100 discount off the lowest advertised price and yes, I have been tracking it constantly.

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+E Chew Which we will, as we have stated many times. We're not confirming lead times, but pre-orders will absolutely get their discounted pricing.

[@M3anBIMMER]

+E Chew When I bought my ARAK21, it exceeded the build time by months. Repeated emails to them were always replied with "we should have it done next week". Finally got it, and it had more FTF, FTE, FTL than it had actually shooting rounds. Some casings were stuck so bad I had to take a wooden block and slam the charging handle on it. Also the dual ejection port thing sucks because all you get is gas in the face and it doesn't come with a cover for it. If possible, you should try to get a refund. Any questions you have to them will likely be ignored and/or they will only answer certain questions and not all. I cannot recommend these guys to anyone.

[@fou-dou]

You are very lucky that you can enjoy all these wonderful guns! I am Greek, and here, the law allows us to only have up to two pistols and only if we have special (and expensive ...) permission for the sport of shooting. And no rifles ......

[@keithgregory7937]

Good job out there Eric.

[@Zraupp10]

is it me, or like all SHOT Show 2016 rifles are all ACR Style ? (ACR/AR hybrid) ?

[@Bryce70]

Gotta love proprietary systems that a new generation of will come out next year.

[@spektr540hemi]

The ACR could/should have been so awesome...Freak'n Remington!! SHAME ON THEM!!!

[@droppinplates6665]

To be fair in the melt down video u did shoot like 800 rounds in full auto as fast as you could and it lasted most of the way not to many people out there that even have enough mags to fire that many rounds nor have a full auto lower and for just being wrentched down it did great

[@corpsie666]

The clockable brakes are also made by a company that was in the NEXT area of the show. I had to ship most of my stuff home, so I can't look up the name easily at the moment

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+Corpsie We were the first to create the technology and have trademarks filed on MuzzLok. Other companies are working to license the same technology from us.

[@corpsie666]

+Faxon Firearms - oh, they didn't mention that.

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+Corpsie We know, but its not worth the fight. ;)

[@corpsie666]

+Faxon Firearms - you know I still love ya and the ARAK uppers. Group hug!

[@joshnewhouse61]

This video has been out for 2 years now and still nothing on the 31. When I first watched this video I was incredibly excited for the "soon to come" ARAK 31. As a lefty, ambidextrous EVERYTHING is a big deal to me. Few rifles are made with FULL ambi components. Also, the ARAK 31 (to my knowledge) is the only gun that really gives the SCAR 17 any competition. Is there any news on the 31 or is the .308 concept abandoned?

[@win70supershadow]

Considering that people have swapped a remington 1100 stock onto an scr and the arak is bufferless one could conceivably put a magpul 870 stock on it. I'd like that.

[@jonasga]

You're sounding a bit rough by the last day. Really good coverage this year, I watched just about all of it.

[@joeynice123]

faxon sure is trending with some unique features for picky folks....like me

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+Joey Nice We like picky!

[@TexasLonghornRanch]

It would be great if Faxon could keep barrels in stock.

[@charlesballiet7074]

ide be very interested on how carbon polymer weave holds up under a meltdown test. see if its any more heat resistant than the plastic

[@MrRedeoarknot]

Wow really know your weapons. From where did you get your excellent knowledge?

[@noel5050]

that gun that was 50 state legal is just beautiful do you know if it's available in Canada?

[@calebwhittington3749]

Is Unsavory Eric's new favorite word? I hear him say it in almost every video lmao

[@Nugrat1]

That lower is perfect for us here in CA. Just make sure you don't put an evil foregrip or a flash hider (comp/break is okay) on your upper and you're in business. Fuck a bullet button.

[@lilaalexinglis1436]

I so miss being able to go shoot and have firearms. unfortunately I'm living in Canada and you can't have guns like back in America. Time for CHANGE Canada!

[@69chargergow41]

Hi Eric, I just read that if I skip the commercials on your videos that you don't get paid for that commercial. I'm sure you are not in this for the money, but I doubt you would run from it. just curious and would like to help you back after all you do for us thanks...

[@austinreiber2738]

R.I.P our brothers in california

[@benbertin4750]

Nice misleading thumbnail

[@xSpArTiChRiSx]

+Ben Hume Ya the whole fucking time I am waiting for the shiny gun and he never even looks at it.

[@MegaDoubleStack]

The gun looks ugly anyway.

[@nevinzavell4207]

Man... the pain on his face was real when he said 50 state legal.

[@KingKiavash]

Misleading thumbnail lead me into a Faxon sales pitch. Not cool. I just wanted to see the shiny.

[@jesuslovesme9138]

Eric, where can I buy that vest that you are sporting????

[@Ksweezy96]

How would a low mass bolt carrier fair against a standard one... other than weight. performance wise.

[@TASSADAR98]

what is that chrome/wooden gun in the back ground. i want it right now !!!!

[@fuyingbro]

Those are some damn sexy rifles.

[@lilaalexinglis1436]

yeah I am SO damn envious! I'm living in Canada right now and they've got some of the lamest gun laws possible!

[@LightsOut183]

I want that ares scr arak21 rifle.when is faxon expected to offer that configuration ?

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+LightsOut183 Very shortly. For now, the parts can be purchased seperately.

[@hunterakins5407]

have the man cans shipped yet

[@FurryGram]

did fpsrussia make a video featuring the arak? if so i can't find it.

[@Woktosstactical]

no

[@PureCountryof91]

that rifle lower is cool.though, i mean if you have to, but either way that is a cool idea..

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+PureCountryof91 Thanks!

[@bmstylee]

is shot show open to the public or is it like sema which is industry only?

[@Morrigi192]

+bill marks Industry and press only.

[@jimmy.3383]

+Morrigi192 I never realized that before. It's hard to believe some of the people ya see walking around are in the industry. Maybe I'm judging but I find it hard to believe.

[@bmstylee]

***** that is a bummer.

[@danielgorzel7222]

Ehh so sad we can't have this guns in Poland...

[@DefZen343]

And your country makes some really great guns too. I love my Polish Makarov :)

[@simonsady768]

+DefZen343 are you talking about P64 pistol 9x18? I saw a short clip from TFBTV and they are showing a new modular MSBS rifle made in Poland. Go check that out, you'll be surprised :) ...I am still kinda shocked that Eric and Chad didn't stop by FB Radoms boot

[@DefZen343]

+Simon Sady Yhup. and i did see the vids and also forgotten weapons vids about that booth too. Very cool!

[@supermodel2011]

+daniel tajne some one in italy sells them ;) or you could let it import through a local firearms dealer..hopefully i will get mine in march - i'm aso from an eu country ;)

[@danielgorzel7222]

supermodel2011 i meant we cant have those guns because gun laws are very hard, so its hard to get any.but ofc. If you have permission in Poland then u can buy them but its not going to be cheap because of stamps etc.

[@TheXJthatCould]

If it looks like an AR....its an AR.... Sooooooo BORING looking at AR's.... Love the coverage tho u doing a great job

[@mdredheadguy1979]

That 50 state legal rifle, does anyone know if it can be had in, say, .308, or .338fed? It would make an interesting hunting rifle!

[@axelkusanagi4139]

Unfortunately, the AR-10 platform is proprietary and takes a mag too big for the Ares SCR lower. I really wanted to pair an ARAK-31 with the Fightlite/SCR lower to make a splendid repeating sporter. ARAK-31 was suspended indefinitely and ARES I think, doesn't plan to make a .308 lower. ARAK-21 Is available in .223, .308 and 7.62x39mm.

[@mdredheadguy1979]

@@axelkusanagi4139 thanks for the information.

[@KiraSlith]

you can hear someone else recording their own video in the background.

[@domnfg]

What the hell is that one you are holding in the thumbnail shot?

[@DroidKat]

It's the gun behind him.

[@wingedwarrior01]

was that a 14.5 pencil barrel?

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+wingedwarrior01 We offer them, yes.

[@couchninjawarriors6072]

Dude. You must be beat, selling everyone's stuff for them.

[@couchninjawarriors6072]

+Lone Soul Right, he just does it better than some of the booth guys I've seen in interviews on other channels. I was implying that he comes off as knowing more and being more excited that the dudes who are paid to sell the stuff lol. But I guess that's part of why he's got one of, if not the, biggest gun channels on youtube.

[@dabbgk]

All I wanted to see was the chrome/ wooden gun. :(

[@raider762]

Sounds like Eric's voice might be starting to go.

[@landlockedviking]

what was the scope and mount on that Arak 31?

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+landlockedviking Nightforce.

[@landlockedviking]

+Faxon Firearms thanks

[@jcyoho31]

what finish for the one behind u on the wall?

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+jcyoho31 They are a polished aluminum. Typical production is either anodized black or cerakoted.

[@c.gabrielgonzales2954]

Usually like your reviews but not digging the sales pitch for Faxon. If anyone is reading this, look up Faxon on the gun forums for better reviews.

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+C. Gabriel Gonzales Please do so. Our barrels are considered a universal "best buy".

[@M3anBIMMER]

+C. Gabriel Gonzales AGREED. I like this channel but these guys are buddies. I have a ARAK 21 I spent a good bit of money on and thus far very problematic with every malfunction you can think of and their customer service (or lack thereof) makes me regret the purchase 100%

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+M3anBIMMER Mr. Bimmer, we apologize for your poor experience. Can you give me a call or e-mail directly? Nathan 513-674-2580 or [e-mail]

[@stopstickers]

Funkier Tactical patch ftw.

[@stopstickers]

P.S. We want Original-Ryan back at Funker.

[@Hairygeese]

Anyone know what oem's are using their barrels?

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+Justin Miller 2A Armament, Robar Arms, Combat Shooters Supply, Area 53 (at times), BCI Defense, among others. Many more we are under "black label" agreements and cannot disclose our supply of barrels.

[@Hairygeese]

+Faxon Firearms good to know. Thanks for the quick response. I recently got out and shot my new build with your 18" rifle length barrel. Love it had, no issues. However when I was installing the gas block it came with from aim surplus one of the screws easily stripped out on me. Had to replace with different brand. I can't find another gas block that is drill already for the pin on the bottom.

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+Justin Miller We will replace the gas block. Contact CS and mention you spoke with Nathan

[@Hairygeese]

+Faxon Firearms ok thanks for the help

[@FaxonFirearmsOfficial]

+Justin Miller Our pleasure. I know the block is on its way!

[@big_ben_1776]

what does rock setting mean

[@jimmy.3383]

+Benjamin Thomas Rocksett is kinda like loctite except it's extremely resistant to heat. I forget what temp. it is rated to but it's VERY high compared to loctite. To give you an idea, I Rocksett a gas block on and had to cut it off cause the set screws stripped before loosening.

[@big_ben_1776]

Thank u very much

[@jimmy.3383]

+Benjamin Thomas Yessir! You are very welcome!

[@cristianilie4421]

+Faxon Firearms I've stopped, landed, in November, in Cincinnati, I've rent a car, to be able to visit your place, to see all the goodies you said you have... nothing to see, not a presentation room, nothing and no one to speak with. Just a nice lady, in the lobby, trying to get someone...but with no results. Yes, she got me an email address, from one guy there...I'm not interested in sending emails. I can find any emails I need... I was interested in seeing a final product, not Web pictures and some people, presentations on KZbin! Nice to hear about your customer service...where, on Web, over the phone?, but not at your door? NO MORE FAXON! you don't need customers, to show your products. Anyway, all the best.
