Faxon Firearms 110B863N16Nmq Sav 110 Ba 8.6Blk 16 Brl

The Faxon Firearms 8.6 Blackout barrel for Savage 110 bolt-action rifles is a specialized replacement barrel built for shooters pursuing subsonic rifle hunting and range work with one of the most ballistically efficient yet practical large-bore cartridges available. This 16-inch barrel ships with a salt bath nitride finish on 416-R stainless steel, combining durability and corrosion resistance in a package designed to handle the unique demands of 8.6 Blackout shooting. If you're running a Savage 110 platform and want to convert to 8.6 Blackout without buying an entirely new rifle, this direct-fit barrel lets you do exactly that.

The 416-R stainless construction with salt bath nitride finish is a time-tested pairing in quality barrel manufacturing. Salt bath nitride hardening improves surface hardness and wear resistance while preserving the underlying steel's toughness—important when you're pushing heavy subsonic rounds. The 16-inch length strikes a balance between manageability in brush and timber and velocity retention in a caliber already optimized for subsonic performance. This is a genuine Faxon barrel, known for attention to bore quality and chamber specs that stack up against factory standards.

Installation requires that your Savage 110 action and stock be properly prepared for a barrel swap; if you're not comfortable with headspace gauging and torque specs, a qualified gunsmith should handle the fit. Once in place, you'll have a dedicated 8.6 Blackout upper capable of running reliable subsonic ammunition—a real advantage for hunters who want stealth without sacrificing power or those building a bolt-gun platform for specialized precision work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this barrel fit my Savage 110?

Yes—this barrel is a direct fit for Savage 110 bolt-action rifles. Proper installation requires headspace verification and correct torque specs; a qualified gunsmith can handle the swap if you're not equipped to do it yourself.

What's the difference between 8.6 Blackout and standard hunting cartridges?

8.6 Blackout is optimized for subsonic velocity—bullets travel below the speed of sound (approximately 1,125 fps) while still delivering substantial power. This makes it popular for suppressed hunting where quiet operation matters, and for precision work at moderate ranges. It's a heavier-hitting alternative to 300 Blackout in a larger bore.

What finish protects this barrel?

The barrel features a salt bath nitride finish applied to 416-R stainless steel. Salt bath nitride hardening improves surface wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which is valuable for hunters and shooters working in wet or harsh conditions.

Do I need a new stock or action to use this barrel?

No—this is a replacement barrel for an existing Savage 110 action and stock. You'll only need to swap the barrel itself, provided your rifle is already set up as a Savage 110 platform.
