FAXON MATCH SERIES FLAME FLUTED® 20" RIFLE-LENGTH 6.5 CREEDMOOR AR10 BARREL
Faxon Match Series Flame Fluted® AR10 Barrel — 20" 6.5 Creedmoor (1:8 Twist, Rifle Gas)
416-R stainless steel • 5R button rifled • Salt bath nitride (QPQ) inside & out • Patented Flame Fluting® • Nickel Teflon coated extension • MPI inspected • Recessed target crown • Rifle-length gas • .750" gas block journal • 5/8x24 TPI
The Faxon Match Series Flame Fluted® 20" 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 barrel is built for shooters who want match-ready performance in a balanced, do-it-all length. At 20 inches with rifle-length gas, this barrel is an excellent choice for precision AR10 builds that prioritize consistency, controllability, and long-range capability.
Match Series barrels start with 416-R stainless steel and 5R button rifling. The 5R land/groove geometry is designed to reduce bullet jacket deformation and promote easier cleaning compared to traditional rifling forms. After rigorous testing, the barrel is treated with salt bath nitride (QPQ) inside and out, enhancing corrosion resistance, surface wear, and long-term durability.
This model features Flame Fluted® profiling—a variable-depth fluting method patented by Faxon founder Robert T. Faxon—engineered to reduce weight while maintaining practical rigidity and increasing surface area for heat dissipation. The 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

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flame Fluting® and why does it matter?
Flame Fluting® is Faxon’s patented, variable-depth fluting method designed to reduce weight while maintaining practical rigidity. It also increases surface area which can help manage heat during extended firing strings.
Is this barrel compatible with DPMS / LR-308 pattern AR10 receivers?
This barrel uses a DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension. Always confirm compatibility with your receiver set, bolt, and components.
Why choose a 20" 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 barrel?
A 20" barrel balances velocity and handling, making it a popular choice for long-range shooting where you still want a rifle that moves well in practical stages or field use.
What does QPQ nitride do for Match Series barrels?
Salt bath nitride (QPQ) improves corrosion resistance and surface wear, and can reduce fouling to simplify cleaning while supporting long service life.

20" flame Fluted barrel
Ordered with the BCG in 6.5 creedmoor! I somehow did not order the additional "check headspace" deal for $25:bucks! SobI bought go, no go gauges. The head space was perfect! Sub 1" at 100 yards!

Hell of an upgrade!
Turned my depressing unreliable LR308 setup, into a tack driving machine! Couldn't even find some of my shots, because I was nailing the same spot over and over.

Faxon Delivers Again
Since taking up the building of custom AR-15, AR-10, and LR308 rifles, Faxon has become the only barrel I consider. The quality of their products makes this a no-brainer and I have never had a disappointment. Will continue to purchase directly through their site because the customer service is also outstanding.
