Ascent 10.5" .223Rem

FAXON Ascent 10.5" is a lightweight AR-15 platform semi-automatic firearm chambered in .223 Rem (5.56×45mm NATO), designed with an emphasis on low weight, compact dimensions and smooth operation. Its total weight is just 4.93 lb (2.24 kg). The rifle is built around a 10.5" (26.7 cm) Faxon 5.56 NATO Pencil Profile barrel with a nitrided finish and 1/2"-28 threading. The muzzle is fitted with a Faxon Ported MuzzLok® Flash Hider. A carbine-length gas system is combined with a multi-position adjustable gas block, allowing the operating system to be tuned for different configurations.

The rifle uses a Faxon Enhanced Forged AR-15 receiver set with a tensioning screw for a tight upper-to-lower fit. The operating components include a lightweight Faxon Gunner Lightweight M16 BCG with Superfinish and an ambidextrous charging handle. Fire control is provided by the Faxon Enhanced Match Trigger by Schmid®, complemented by an ambidextrous safety selector. The Faxon 10.3" (26.2 cm) Carbon Fiber M-LOK® handguard combines low weight with high strength. The rear of the firearm is fitted with an SB Tactical SBA3 Pistol Brace and a B5 grip.

Each firearm is individually test-fired and tuned by the manufacturer using factory-new 55gr 5.56 NATO ammunition before shipment. The configuration is based on Faxon's ION Ultralight line, combining a lightweight design with Faxon components and selected components from other manufacturers.
