Faxon Match Series .22 ARC 20-inch Flame Fluted Barrel

Description

The Faxon Firearms Match Series barrel is built from 416-R stainless steel and finished with a Nitride treatment inside and out for improved wear and corrosion resistance. It is chambered for .22 ARC and uses 5R rifling with a 1:7 rate of twist to support consistent bullet stabilization. The barrel features a flame-fluted contour and a 20-inch length that balance velocity and handling on AR-platform rifles. Each barrel is MPI tested and the extension receives a Nickel Teflon coating to improve lubricity and fit.
