Honed & Lapped 416R Stainless • 5R Rifling • Target Profile • Nickel Teflon M4 Extension • Bead-Blast Finish

The Faxon AXIS Series takes our match-grade precision to the next level—combining our 416R stainless barrels with honed & lapped bores for mirror-smooth finish and unrivaled consistency. The 20" Target Profile barrel is engineered for maximum stability, heat resistance, and long-range precision, making it the ideal choice for competition or precision rifle builds.

Machined from 416R stainless with 5R button rifling (1:7 twist) and finished in bead-blast stainless, this barrel delivers repeatable precision and a refined aesthetic. Each AXIS barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, MPI-inspected, and headspace verified. The Nickel Teflon–coated M4 extension provides a tight receiver fit and smoother feeding for enhanced accuracy and reliability.
