FAXON MATCH SERIES HEAVY FLUTED 22" RIFLE-LENGTH 6.5 CREEDMOOR AR10 BARREL
Faxon Match Series AR10 Barrel — Heavy Fluted 22" 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 muzzle threads
The Faxon Match Series Heavy Fluted 22" 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 barrel is designed for shooters who demand high-level precision, durability, and weight efficiency in a long-range AR10 platform. With a slightly shorter length than a traditional 24" barrel, this configuration balances velocity, handling, and stiffness for competition and precision-oriented builds.
Manufactured 100% in-house from 416-R stainless steel, Match Series barrels feature 5R button rifling, a geometry that reduces jacket deformation and promotes consistent velocities while remaining easy to maintain. After machining, the barrel receives a salt bath nitride (QPQ) treatment inside and out, improving wear resistance, corrosion protection, and barrel life.
The heavy fluted profile reduces overall mass while preserving rigidity and increasing surface area for improved heat dissipation during extended firing strings. A Nickel Teflon coated DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension enhances corrosion resistance and provides a smooth 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.
