Faxon Match Series 223 Wylde 16" Barrel

Faxon Match Series Precision Barrel

Faxon manufactures this Match Series barrel in-house from premium 416-R bar-stock, ensuring consistent quality from start to finish. The barrel features 5R hybrid rifling—a design that places lands opposite grooves with reduced sharp angles. This geometry minimizes jacket deformation, preserves velocity, and simplifies cleaning.

Chamber and Accuracy

The barrel is chambered in .223 Wylde, a hybrid chamber that pairs perfectly with 5R rifling to minimize bullet jump and maximize accuracy. Every barrel undergoes rigorous Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) testing to verify safety and reliability.

Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Nitride Finish: Applied inside and out, this treatment locks in the bore, extends barrel life, and provides superior protection against the elements.

Nickel Teflon Extension: The extension coating delivers exceptional dry lubricity and corrosion resistance while tightening the fit between extension and receiver—another accuracy advantage.
