The inventory of Faxon Firearms is lined with brightly colored barrels, eye-catching uppers, creative firearms and just about any other stylish part one can imagine. The company, best known for its multi-colored barrel options and ARAK-21 firearm quietly crept into the mainstream and has since taken a firm foothold in the gun industry with its fresh approach to everyday parts and accessories.
Faxon Firearms sprang from the roots of Faxon Machining — a family owned business that originally began in 1978. The Faxon family business centered on the automotive, oil and gas and aerospace industries. Despite a rigorous work ethic, the family business struggled due to foreign competition and economic downturn forcing the Faxon family to look into other ventures to stay afloat.
“Needing to keep our employees and machines running, we pursued several options and Faxon Firearms was born out of that, “ Bob Faxon, CEO and founder of Faxon Firearms, told Guns.com.
