How a Savage® 110 Barrel Swap Works

Savage® 110 rifles were designed for barrel swaps. The barrel threads into the action and a barrel nut locks it in place, so headspace is set at installation instead of machined into a shoulder. Thread the barrel in until a GO gauge just closes the bolt, tighten the included Savage®-style barrel nut against the receiver with a Savage barrel nut wrench, and confirm with a NO-GO gauge.

This barrel fits Savage® 110 and other Savage® small shank actions with a 1.0625-20 tenon. It does not fit large shank Savage® actions (including the 110 PCS), Remington 700®-pattern actions, or the Faxon FX7.

.308 Winchester, 1:10 Twist

The .308 Winchester is the classic short-action cartridge: easy to find, easy on barrels, and accurate with everything from 150 gr hunting bullets to 175 and 185 gr match bullets. The 1:10 twist is the standard for .308 and stabilizes that whole range.

The Medium Sporter Profile at 22″

The Medium Sporter is a classic sporter contour with more steel than a light hunting barrel. It balances weight and stiffness for rifles you carry and still want to shoot well from a bench, and it is a natural fit for short suppressed builds.

How It’s Made

1. Drill and ream: 416-R stainless bar gun-drilled and reamed
2. Hone: Bore honed to a fine finish before rifling
3. Button rifle: 5R button rifled, 1:10 twist
4. Air gauge: Bore air gauged
5. Stress relieve: Stress relieved after rifling
6. Profile and thread: Medium Sporter profile turned, 1.0625-20 UNEF tenon and 5/8x24 muzzle threads cut, target crown
7. Chamber: .308 Winchester chamber cut
8. Lap: Bore lapped after chambering
9. MPI and nitride: 100% wet magnetic particle inspected, then salt-bath QPQ nitrided inside and out
10. Engrave and inspect: Laser-engraved with the cartridge and twist, then final inspected

Salt-bath QPQ nitride is a diffusion treatment, not a plating. It hardens the bore and exterior and adds corrosion resistance while adding virtually nothing to the dimensions, a few ten-thousandths of an inch, roughly a tenth the width of a human hair. It needs little to no break-in.

Savage® 110 22″ Medium Sporter .308 Win FAQs

Will it fit my Savage®?

It fits Savage® 110 and other Savage® small shank actions with a 1.0625-20 tenon. It does not fit large shank actions, including the 110 PCS, and it does not fit Remington 700®-pattern actions or the Faxon FX7.

How do I install it?

Thread the barrel in until a GO gauge just closes the bolt, tighten the included barrel nut against the receiver with a Savage barrel nut wrench, and confirm with a NO-GO gauge before firing.

What comes in the box?

The barrel and Savage®-style barrel nut and thread protector.

Why 416-R stainless and 5R rifling?

416-R machines cleanly and holds a consistent bore. 5R rifling uses five lands with sloped sides instead of sharp corners, which deforms the bullet less and fouls less. Faxon hones the bore before rifling and laps it after chambering for a smooth, consistent finish.

Does a nitrided barrel need break-in?

Little to no break-in. Salt-bath QPQ nitride hardens the bore and resists corrosion and fouling while adding virtually nothing to its dimensions.

Can I run a suppressor?

Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8x24. Use a .30 caliber or larger suppressor and confirm alignment before firing.

Where is it made?

In Greater Cincinnati, Ohio, and it is covered by the Faxon Lifetime Guarantee.
