Why 5R Rifling Matters

The 5R hybrid rifling design features lands positioned opposite grooves with reduced sharp angles. This geometry minimizes jacket deformation, preserving bullet integrity for superior velocity and consistency. The design also simplifies cleaning compared to traditional rifling.

Durability and Accuracy

After rigorous in-house testing, each barrel receives a complete Nitride treatment that hardens the bore, extends barrel life, and provides superior corrosion resistance. The Nickel Teflon-coated extension maintains excellent dry lubricity while tightening the fit between extension and receiver—critical for precision shooting.

Whether you're competing or deploying, the Faxon Match Series delivers unmatched performance value.
