FAXON MATCH SERIES GUNNER PROFILE 16" MID-LENGTH 223 WYLDE AR15 BARREL
Faxon Match Series — 16" Gunner Profile .223 Wylde AR-15 Barrel (Mid-Length Gas)
416R Stainless • 5R Rifling • Nickel Teflon M4 Extension • Nitride Inside & Out
The Match Series 16" Gunner .223 Wylde combines Gov’t-strength durability with Pencil-like weight savings for a fast, well-balanced rifle. Chambered in .223 Wylde, it delivers match-grade precision with .223 Rem while safely accommodating 5.56 NATO pressures—perfect for training, competition, and duty use.
Starting with 416R stainless steel and 5R rifling (button-rifled, 1:8 twist), the bore is then salt bath nitrided inside & out for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. Every Faxon Match barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, magnetic particle inspected (MPI), and headspace verified. The M4 extension features a Nickel Teflon coating for enhanced lubricity and a tighter extension-to-receiver fit that aids consistency.
