Faxon Heavy Fluted Barrel: In-House Manufacturing for Superior Quality

Faxon Quality is no accident. Every step of the way, from design all the way through to the last inspection serves a purpose. The selection of quality 416-R Stainless Steel stock provides a hearty base for a series of processes that produce a match grade barrel like no other. Faxon uses a button rifling process to produce the 5R rifling that puts lands and grooves opposite reducing sharp angles so that bullet jackets take less punishment. That allows better projectile velocity and makes for an easier to clean bore than a traditional rifling pattern. Combining the unparalleled accuracy of the .223 Wylde Chamber, 5R Rifling, and NP3 Nickle Teflon coated M4 feed ramps barrel extension, this Faxon Heavy Fluted Barrel is sure to make the competition cringe when you debut it on the range.

Faxon Pride Inside and Out

Faxon Firearms leaves nothing to chance, that means even the coatings used in and on their Match Series Barrels are carefully chosen, not just for appearance, but performance too. QPQ Nitride coating gives the inside and outside of every Faxon barrel unquestioned protection from corrosion and keeps the bore locked in for long-term performance. Whether you choose a 16 or 18-inch Match Series Heavy Fluted Barrel from Faxon Firearms, you'll receive a quality barrel that will serve you well and make the rest of the range envious from first look to last shot.
