Faxon AR10 6.5 Creedmoor Barrel
This 22-inch barrel represents a thoughtful approach to long-range AR10 construction. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, it delivers the ballistic performance serious shooters demand while maintaining practical handling characteristics.
Key Features
- Caliber: 6.5 Creedmoor
- Length: 22 inches
- Twist Rate: 1:8 (optimized for modern 6.5 Creedmoor projectiles)
- Rifling: 5R design for consistent bullet engagement and reduced fouling
- Profile: Heavy fluted construction balances rigidity with weight reduction
- Finish: Black
Performance Characteristics
The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes the full range of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition, from lighter target loads to heavy match-grade rounds. The 5R rifling pattern minimizes copper fouling and extends barrel life compared to traditional designs.
Fluting serves a dual purpose: it reduces overall weight without sacrificing the stiffness needed for precision shooting, and it improves heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions.
Practical Application
This barrel suits hunters pursuing medium to large game at extended ranges, as well as competitors in precision rifle matches. The 22-inch length provides excellent velocity while remaining manageable in field conditions.
