Faxon Match 16″ 1-8 .223 Wylde Flame-Fluted Nitride

Description

The Faxon Match Series 16-inch barrel is a precision-minded option chambered in .223 Wylde and built from gun-barrel-quality bar-stock. It uses a 5R rifling profile and button rifling production to reduce jacket deformation and simplify cleaning. The barrel is nitride treated inside and out for improved wear and corrosion resistance, and the extension receives a Nickel Teflon coating for enhanced lubricity and fit. The barrel is configured with a mid-length gas system and standard 1/2-28 muzzle threads to suit a wide range of AR-15 builds.
