FAXON MATCH SERIES HEAVY FLUTED 20" RIFLE-LENGTH 6.5 CREEDMOOR AR10 BARREL
Faxon Match Series AR10 Barrel — Heavy Fluted 20" 6.5 Creedmoor (1:8 Twist, Rifle Gas)
416-R stainless steel • 5R button rifled • Salt bath nitride (QPQ) inside & out • Heavy fluted profile • Nickel Teflon coated extension • MPI inspected • Recessed target crown • Rifle-length gas • .750" gas block journal • 5/8x24 TPI
The Faxon Match Series Heavy Fluted 20" 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 barrel is built for shooters who want a precision-forward AR10 barrel that balances long-range performance with practical handling. With rifle-length gas and a 20-inch length, it’s a strong choice for competition, target shooting, and field-capable precision builds.
Match Series barrels begin with 416-R stainless steel and 5R button rifling. 5R geometry is designed to reduce jacket deformation and support consistent performance while remaining easy to maintain. After manufacturing and testing, the barrel receives salt bath nitride (QPQ) treatment inside and out to improve wear resistance, corrosion protection, and service life.
The heavy fluted profile reduces weight while preserving rigidity and increasing surface area to aid heat dissipation during extended firing. A Nickel Teflon coated DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension adds corrosion resistance and dry lubricity at the receiver interface. Finished with a recessed target crown and MPI inspection, this barrel is proudly American-made by a family-owned manufacturer in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
Key Benefits
- Match Series durability: QPQ nitride inside & out helps resist corrosion and wear.
- Heavy fluting: Reduces weight while maintaining stiffness and improving cooling surface area.
- 5R rifling: Designed to reduce jacket deformation and support easier cleaning.
- 416-R stainless steel: Excellent for precision barrels and consistent thermal behavior.
- Nickel Teflon extension: Dry lubricity and corrosion resistance at the receiver interface.
- Precision crown: Recessed target crown helps protect accuracy at the muzzle.
- Rifle-length gas: Smooth recoil impulse and tuning flexibility for precision builds.
Ideal Use Cases
- Precision AR10 builds: 20" length balances velocity and maneuverability.
- Competition & target: Durable nitride finish for high-round-count training.
- Field-capable long-range: Fluting reduces carry weight while maintaining performance.
- Suppressed or unsuppressed: 5/8x24 supports common muzzle devices and .30-cal mounts (verify alignment/mount specs).
Specifications
Build note: Always verify receiver/bolt compatibility, headspace, and muzzle-device alignment prior to use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does heavy fluting do?
Heavy fluting reduces barrel weight while maintaining practical rigidity and increasing surface area, which can help manage heat during extended firing.
Is this compatible with DPMS / LR-308 pattern AR10 receivers?
Yes. This barrel uses a DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension. Always confirm compatibility with your bolt, receiver set, and components.
Why choose a 20" 6.5 Creedmoor barrel?
A 20" barrel balances velocity and handling for long-range capability without the full length of a 24" setup—popular for practical precision builds.
What does QPQ nitride add to performance?
QPQ salt bath nitride improves corrosion resistance and wear, and can reduce fouling for easier maintenance while supporting long service life.
