Faxon Firearms Match Spiral Fluted 5R Rifled Barrel .223 Wylde 16", Black

Faxon Firearms barrels set the standard for precision, durability, and performance. Manufactured entirely in-house, each barrel undergoes a meticulous process that includes full stress relief, air-gauge testing, and an 11 deg target crown to ensure exceptional accuracy. The commitment to quality begins with premium materials, including certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R stainless steel. Each barrel is subjected to rigorous inspections at every stage of production, finished with a Nitride treatment for enhanced longevity, and individually checked for headspace using precision custom-hardened gauges. The Match Series takes this dedication to the next level, starting with gun-barrel-quality 416-R stainless steel and featuring 5R rifling. This hybrid rifling design, with lands positioned opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles, minimizes jacket deformation, increases velocity, and simplifies cleaning. Chambered in .223 Wylde, the Match Series maximizes accuracy by reducing bullet jump while maintaining full compatibility with both .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm rounds. Each barrel undergoes magnetic particle inspection for added safety before receiving a Nitride treatment inside and out, ensuring superior resistance to wear and corrosion. The Nickel Teflon-coated extension enhances dry lubricity and corrosion resistance while tightening the fit between the extension and receiver, further improving accuracy. Whether for duty use or competition, the Match Series delivers an unbeatable combination of performance and value.
