The gunner profile by Faxon combines the durability of the Gov't barrel profile with the lightweight agility of the Pencil profile. This design enhances maneuverability and reduces shooter fatigue by shifting the rifle's balance closer to the shooter, ensuring comfort and endurance during extended shooting sessions. Faxon's MATCH series barrels are crafted for superior performance and value, made from premium gun-barrel-quality bar stock, starting with 416-R stainless steel and featuring 5R rifling. This rifling design, with lands opposite grooves and minimized sharp angles, reduces jacket deformation, enhances velocity and simplifies cleaning. Chambered in .223 Wylde, the Match series barrels maximize the potential of 5R rifling for improved accuracy through reduced bullet jump. Each barrel undergoes comprehensive MPI testing for safety and reliability and is nitride treated inside and out for enhanced bore longevity and protection against environmental elements. The barrel extension is coated with Nickel Teflon for exceptional dry lubricity and corrosion resistance, ensuring a precise fit between the extension and receiver to further enhance accuracy. These features make the Match series barrels an exceptional choice for demanding applications, delivering unmatched performance and value when precision and reliability are crucial.11 degree recessed target crownTwist rate - 1:8Gas block diameter - 0.625 inchesGas block journal length - 1.9M4 - nickel teflon coated barrel extensionMid-length, 5R button-rifled gunner barrelMagnetic particle inspection (MPI) for optimal performance to ensure optimal performance, it is essential to conduct magnetic particle inspection (MPI) with precision and adherence to established protocolsThis non-destructive testing method is employed to detect surface and near surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materialsBy applying a magnetic field to the test object and introducing magnetic particles, any disruptions in the magnetic field caused by defects become visible, allowing for accurate identification and assessmentProper execution of MPI requires a thorough understanding of the equipment, materials and techniques involved, as well as strict compliance with safety standards and guidelines
