Faxon Firearms Match Series 18″ Heavy Fluted .223 Wylde Rifle-Length 416-R Stainless Nitride / Melonite 5R Nickel Teflon Extension Barrel

Faxon’s MATCH SERIES of barrels takes our renowned performance and value up a notch.

Manufactured 100% in-house from gun-barrel-quality bar-stock, the Match Series starts with 416-R in 5R rifling. 5R is a hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles that reduce jacket deformation, increasing velocity and easy cleaning. We chamber our Match Series in .223 Wylde, a hybrid chamber that the 5R rifling takes full advantage of. Better accuracy through less bullet jump, but fully and individually MPI tested for your safety. After rigorous testing, the barrels are Nitride-treated inside and out, locking in the bore, improving barrel life, and keeping the elements at bay.

The extension is coated in Nickel Teflon, which maintains incredible dry lubricity, corrosion resistance, and, with the coating, tightens up the fit between the extension and receiver – again improving upon accuracy. Combined, the Match Series of barrels is ready for when duty calls, or the buzzer beeps with unrivaled performance value.
