This is a easy fix to my barrel and definitely sub moa. It was worth it and would buy another even with the issue. My major struggle was the lost barrel and took a little longer to resolve. Communication could have been better on Faxons end.
I had the barrel out of the upper, took thousand grit quality sand paper with 1 drop of oil. The paper was rolled tightly and just big enough to fit the chamber slightly lose. Twist the paper in the direction of the roll, if you want it tighter then twist in the other direction until desired effect. You can alternate twists until the little particles are gone. I would not go any coarser with the sand paper.
As a match barrel a little more attention should be taken by Faxon. I had a 308 barrel for a ar10 and 556 and no issues from Faxon.
I own a Balstic Advantage 6.5 grendel and creedmoor which are both very good.
