Faxon Match .223 Wylde 16" Gunner Barrel

Faxon Match Series .223 Wylde Gunner Profile Barrel

The Gunner Profile Advantage

Faxon's Gunner profile represents a thoughtful balance between two proven designs. By combining the durability of the Government profile with the weight savings and handling characteristics of the Pencil profile, the Gunner delivers a barrel that performs all day without excessive fatigue. The profile geometry shifts the rifle's balance point closer to the shooter's body, making it ideal for extended shooting sessions, training courses, or hunting applications.

Match Series Performance

The Match Series elevates Faxon's already-respected barrel line with precision manufacturing and meticulous quality control:

• 416-R Stainless Steel: Premium gun-barrel-quality bar stock ensures consistent performance and longevity
• 5R Rifling: This hybrid rifling design features lands opposite grooves with reduced sharp angles, minimizing bullet jacket deformation for improved velocity and easier cleaning
• .223 Wylde Chamber: A hybrid chamber that maximizes the advantages of 5R rifling while accepting both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition
• Individual MPI Testing: Each barrel is magnaflux particle inspected for your safety and confidence

Precision Finishing

After rigorous testing, the bore and exterior receive salt bath nitride treatment, which locks in accuracy, extends barrel life, and provides superior corrosion resistance. The extension is coated with Nickel Teflon for exceptional dry lubricity and corrosion resistance while tightening the fit between extension and receiver—another accuracy advantage.

Built for Duty and Competition

Manufactured in-house with full stress relief, air-gauge testing, and 11-degree target crowning, every Faxon Match barrel is individually headspace-checked with precision gauges. Whether you're running duty courses or competing when the buzzer sounds, this barrel delivers unmatched performance value.
