What Is the Limited Edition FF-22 Receiver Kit in FDE Cerakote®?
The Limited Edition Faxon FF-22 Receiver Kit in FDE Cerakote® is a billet-machined aftermarket receiver for the Ruger® 10/22® semi-automatic rimfire rifle, finished in Cerakote® H-265 Flat Dark Earth (FDE) rather than the standard black hardcoat anodize. The receiver is CNC-machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, is dimensionally identical to the standard FF-22 receiver, and is produced in a limited run. It is a serialized firearm and must be shipped to a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL).
The FF-22 is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for the factory Ruger 10/22 receiver (non-takedown models). It is compatible with all Ruger 10/22 OEM non-takedown components — bolt assemblies, triggers, trigger groups, charging handles, barrel assemblies, and stocks — as well as all Faxon Rimfire barrels for 10/22 and most aftermarket chassis systems, triggers, and internals built to the non-takedown 10/22 specification.
The kit includes the FDE Cerakote® receiver, a chromoly steel V-block with V-block screws (which secure the barrel to the receiver), and a rubber bolt buffer. To complete a rifle build, you will also need a barrel, bolt assembly, trigger group, charging handle, and stock or chassis. Faxon offers the FF-22 Bolt Assembly and a full line of Rimfire Plinker and Match Series barrels designed to pair with this receiver.
Limited Edition Finish
About FDE Cerakote®
Cerakote® is a thin-film ceramic-polymer coating used across the firearms industry for its abrasion, corrosion, chemical, and impact resistance. This receiver is coated in Cerakote® H-265 Flat Dark Earth — the original Cerakote FDE. It is a warm, medium earth brown with a flat matte finish: browner and slightly darker than coyote or tan, and lighter and less olive than OD Green. It contrasts cleanly against black furniture, a black bolt, and a black barrel for a classic two-tone build, and it sits naturally alongside coyote, tan, and OD green components.
Only the exterior finish changes. The receiver is machined, inspected, and engraved to the same drawing and the same MBR inspection protocol as the standard FF-22, then Cerakoted. The barrel channel bore, front ring OD, receiver width, cross-pin holes, and bolt raceway are unchanged, so every barrel, bolt, trigger group, and stock that fits the standard FF-22 fits this one.
This is a limited production run. Once the run sells out, the FDE Cerakote® FF-22 will not be restocked as a catalog item. The standard black hardcoat anodize FF-22 remains in regular production.
A Note on Color
“FDE” is not one color. Flat Dark Earth varies noticeably between manufacturers — Cerakote alone offers several distinct FDE-family shades (H-265 Flat Dark Earth, H-267 Magpul® FDE, H-235 Coyote Tan, and others), and polymer furniture from Magpul®, B5, and other brands is molded in their own FDE tones. This receiver is coated in Cerakote® H-265 Flat Dark Earth. It will be a close match to other H-265 parts and a near-match-but-not-identical to most other FDE products. If an exact match matters to your build, confirm the other component is H-265.
Photos are a reference, not a guarantee. Earth tones are the most sensitive colors to lighting and display calibration. Our product photos are shot under controlled studio lighting; the same receiver will look lighter and more tan in direct sunlight, darker and browner indoors, and slightly different on every phone, monitor, and TV. Minor shade variation between production batches is also normal for Cerakote®. Color variation is not a defect and is not covered as a warranty claim.

Engineering & Manufacturing
The FF-22 receiver is CNC-machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum across three manufacturing operations. OP-10 saws the bar stock to rough dimensions (1.500" × 3.000" × 7.250"). OP-20 machines the Picatinny rail, outer profile, barrel channel, V-block screw holes, and cross-pin holes. OP-30 machines all interior features including the bolt raceway, ejection port, trigger group pocket, and engraving.
Critical dimensions are verified throughout production per Faxon’s MBR (Manufacturing Build Record) inspection protocol. The barrel channel bore (∅.687" +.002"/-.000"), front ring OD (∅.940" ±.005"), receiver width (.833" ±.002"), and cross-pin holes (∅.250" ±.005") are checked with Go/No-Go pin gages and micrometers at a frequency of 1-in-10 parts. V-block screw threads (2× #12-24) are verified 100% with Go/No-Go thread plugs. Interior features are measured with Sylvac instruments, height gages, and depth gages. A CMM dimensional verification runs once per shift, and a functional check with a master gage is performed on 1-in-10 parts (with 100% verification on critical assemblies).
The receiver is engraved on the left side with “FAXON FIREARMS / FAIRFIELD, OH, USA / FF-22 / 22LR” plus a unique serial number. Engraving depth is .010" ±.005" per ATF requirements. The limited edition receiver is then finished in Cerakote® H-265 Flat Dark Earth (FDE), a ceramic-polymer coating chosen for durability, corrosion resistance, and color consistency across the run.
Compatibility
Barrels
All Faxon Rimfire barrels for 10/22 (Plinker Series and Match Series) and most aftermarket 10/22 barrels designed for the OEM non-takedown V-block system. Barrel channel bore is ∅.687".
Bolt Assemblies
Compatible with Ruger® 10/22 OEM bolt assemblies and aftermarket bolts including the Faxon FF-22 Bolt Assembly (QPQ finish).
Trigger Groups
Accepts Ruger® 10/22 OEM trigger groups and most aftermarket triggers designed for the standard (non-takedown) 10/22 receiver. Cross-pin holes are ∅.250".
Stocks & Chassis
Compatible with most aftermarket 10/22 stocks and chassis designed for the standard (non-takedown) Ruger 10/22 receiver. Not compatible with Ruger 10/22 Takedown models.
Barrel Installation & Thermal Fit
The FF-22 receiver’s barrel channel is machined to a tight tolerance (∅.687" +.002"/-.000") to prevent barrel droop — a common accuracy issue on the 10/22 platform where a loose barrel-to-receiver fit allows the barrel to sag under its own weight. Because of this intentionally tight fit, some barrels may require a thermal fit for installation.
To thermal fit a barrel, heat the front ring of the receiver with a heat gun or hair dryer for 30–60 seconds. The aluminum receiver will expand slightly, allowing the barrel shank to slide in. Once the receiver cools, it contracts around the barrel for a secure, concentric fit that eliminates play between the barrel and receiver. This is normal and by design — it is the same technique used on many precision 10/22 builds. The brief, low heat from a heat gun or hair dryer will not affect the Cerakote® finish; avoid open flame or torches.
If you are installing a Faxon Rimfire barrel, the barrel shank is ground to match the FF-22’s barrel channel. Aftermarket barrels from other manufacturers may vary slightly in shank diameter; a thermal fit will accommodate minor variations. The V-block and screws then lock the barrel in position.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Limited Edition FF-22 Receiver Kit in FDE Cerakote®?
It is the Faxon FF-22 billet 6061-T6 aluminum receiver for the Ruger 10/22 rimfire rifle platform, finished in FDE Cerakote® instead of black hardcoat anodize and produced in a limited run. The kit includes the receiver with an integrated 0-MOA Picatinny rail, a chromoly steel V-block with screws, and a rubber bolt buffer. It is a serialized firearm and must be shipped to an FFL dealer.
Is the FDE version any different from the standard FF-22?
Only the exterior finish. The FDE Cerakote® receiver is machined to the same drawing, inspected to the same MBR protocol, and ships with the same V-block, screws, and bolt buffer as the standard black FF-22. Every barrel, bolt, trigger group, charging handle, and stock that fits the standard FF-22 fits the FDE version.
What is Cerakote®?
Cerakote® is a thin-film ceramic-polymer coating widely used on firearms for abrasion, corrosion, chemical, and impact resistance. It is applied as a liquid, then cured, and is available in a wide range of colors. This receiver uses Cerakote® H-265 Flat Dark Earth, a warm, medium earth brown with a flat matte finish. It contrasts cleanly against black components for a two-tone build and sits naturally alongside coyote, tan, and OD green parts.
Which FDE is this? Will it match my Magpul® furniture?
This receiver is coated in Cerakote® H-265 Flat Dark Earth. FDE is a family of similar earth tones rather than a single standardized color: Cerakote H-267 Magpul FDE, H-235 Coyote Tan, and molded Magpul FDE polymer are all slightly different shades. Expect a close but not identical match to non-H-265 FDE parts. If you want an exact match, specify H-265 when you have other components coated.
Why does the FDE look different in different photos?
Earth tones shift more than any other color with lighting and screen calibration. The same receiver looks lighter and more tan in direct sunlight, darker and browner under indoor light, and slightly different on every phone and monitor. Our photos are shot under controlled studio lighting as a reference. Minor batch-to-batch shade variation is also normal for Cerakote®. Color variation is not a defect.
How many FDE FF-22 receivers are being made, and will they be restocked?
This is a limited production run. Once it sells out it will not be restocked as a catalog item. If you want one, order while the page shows in stock. The standard black hardcoat anodize FF-22 remains in regular production.
Is the FF-22 compatible with my Ruger 10/22?
The FF-22 is compatible with all Ruger 10/22 non-takedown OEM components including bolt assemblies, trigger groups, barrels, charging handles, and stocks. It is not compatible with Ruger 10/22 Takedown models. It is also compatible with most aftermarket 10/22 components designed for the standard non-takedown receiver.
What do I need to complete a rifle build with the FF-22?
You need a .22 LR barrel (Faxon Rimfire or compatible 10/22 barrel), a bolt assembly (Faxon FF-22 Bolt or Ruger OEM), a complete trigger group (with hammer, sear, springs, and pins), a charging handle, and a stock or chassis. Ruger OEM parts or compatible aftermarket components will work.
Why does the FF-22 need to ship to an FFL?
Under federal law, the receiver of a firearm is the serialized, regulated component. Because the FF-22 receiver is serialized and legally classified as a firearm, it must be shipped to a licensed Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) dealer for transfer. You will need to provide your FFL dealer’s information during checkout and complete the required paperwork (Form 4473) at the FFL to take possession.
What barrels work with the FF-22?
The FF-22 accepts all Faxon Rimfire barrels for 10/22 (Plinker Series and Match Series), Ruger OEM 10/22 barrels, and most aftermarket 10/22 barrels that use the standard V-block barrel attachment system. The barrel channel is bored to .687 inches. Faxon offers barrels in Flame Fluted, Straight Fluted, Pencil, and Bull profiles from 10 to 18 inches.
Do I need to thermal fit the barrel, and will heat hurt the Cerakote®?
You may need to thermal fit. The FF-22’s barrel channel is machined to a tight tolerance (.687 inches +.002/-.000) to prevent barrel droop. If the barrel does not slide in by hand, heat the front ring of the receiver with a heat gun or hair dryer for 30 to 60 seconds, then insert the barrel. The brief, low heat from a heat gun or hair dryer will not affect the Cerakote® finish. Do not use an open flame or torch.
Does the FF-22 include a scope rail?
Yes. The FF-22 has an integrated 0-MOA Picatinny rail machined directly into the top of the receiver. The rail is longer than the factory 10/22 rail, providing more mounting options for scopes, red dots, and other optics. No separate scope base or adapter is needed.
Does the FF-22 work with 10/22 Takedown models?
No. The FF-22 is compatible with standard (non-takedown) 10/22 components only. It does not support the barrel-to-receiver locking mechanism used in Ruger 10/22 Takedown models.
Can I suppress my FF-22 build?
Yes. Every Faxon Rimfire barrel for the 10/22 platform ships threaded 1/2x28, so no adapter or additional threading is needed. The Faxon Twenty-Toucan® is a modular .22 LR suppressor with six tunable baffles in 17-4 PH stainless steel. It is full-auto rated for .22 LR, .22 Mag, .17 HMR, and 5.7x28mm, and measured hearing-safe at 131.95 dB at the muzzle during the 2025 Silencer Summit. A suppressor is an NFA item — you will need to submit an eForm 4 through your dealer. The $200 NFA tax stamp fee has been eliminated.
Where is the FF-22 receiver made?
The FF-22 receiver is designed and manufactured by Faxon Firearms at their facility in Fairfield, Ohio, USA. Faxon is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer and a federally licensed firearms manufacturer (FFL). All FF-22 receivers, including limited edition finishes, are covered by Faxon’s Lifetime Guarantee.
