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.
