Faxon Firearms manufactures this Match Series barrel from premium 416-R bar-stock, starting with a foundation of quality that matters. The barrel features 5R hybrid rifling—a design that positions lands opposite grooves with reduced sharp angles. This geometry minimizes jacket deformation, preserves velocity, and simplifies cleaning.
The .223 Wylde chamber is a hybrid design that maximizes the advantages of 5R rifling. By reducing bullet jump, the Wylde chamber delivers improved accuracy without compromise. Each barrel undergoes rigorous Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) testing to ensure safety and reliability.
Nitride Finish: Applied inside and out, this treatment locks in the bore, extends barrel life, and provides superior corrosion resistance.
Nickel Teflon Extension Coating: The extension receives a specialized coating that maintains excellent dry lubricity and corrosion resistance. This coating also tightens the fit between extension and receiver, further enhancing accuracy.
The Match Series delivers unrivaled performance value—ready for competition, duty, or demanding field use.
