The Faxon Firearms FX7 Receiver delivers the precision foundation needed for custom 8.6 Blackout builds. This machined receiver set provides the structural integrity and tight tolerances required for subsonic and supersonic ammunition performance in bolt-action configurations.
What Makes This Different
Faxon's FX7 receiver incorporates enhanced feed geometry specifically optimized for the 8.6 Blackout cartridge's unique case dimensions. The receiver features strengthened lug recesses and improved bolt raceway surfaces compared to standard AR-10 receivers. Precision CNC machining ensures consistent headspace and chamber alignment across production runs.
Key Features
- Dedicated 8.6 Blackout chamber geometry for optimal feeding and extraction
- 7075-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard coat anodizing
- Standard AR-10 trigger group and stock compatibility
- Integrated trigger guard with enlarged opening for gloved operation
- Threaded receiver extension accepts standard castle nuts and end plates
- Mil-spec dimensional tolerances for consistent component fitment
- Forward assist and dust cover provisions included
Bolt-action conversions using this receiver excel in precision shooting applications where single-shot accuracy takes priority over rapid fire capability. The rigid platform reduces flex under load, contributing to consistent point of impact across temperature ranges. Hunters appreciate the reliable cycling with both heavy subsonic loads and lighter supersonic ammunition.
