Faxon Match Series — 14.5" Gunner Profile .223 Wylde AR-15 Barrel (Mid-Length Gas)

416R Stainless • 5R rifling • Nickel Teflon M4 extension • Nitride inside & out

The Match Series 14.5" Gunner .223 Wylde blends Gov’t durability with Pencil-like agility, delivering a balanced carbine that transitions fast and stays accurate. Chambered in .223 Wylde for match-grade precision with .223 Rem and safe compatibility with 5.56 NATO, it’s an outstanding foundation for performance builds and popular for pin-and-weld configurations to reach a 16" legal OAL (verify local laws).

Starting with 416R stainless steel and 5R rifling (button-rifled, 1:8 twist), the bore is then salt bath nitrided inside & out for fouling resistance and durability. Each barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, magnetic particle inspected (MPI), and headspace verified. The M4 barrel extension features a Nickel Teflon coating to enhance lubricity and feeding consistency.
