Match Series Barreled Upper

FAXON MATCH SERIES 16" .223 WYLDE GUNNER BARRELED UPPER

16" Gunner Profile .223 Wylde 5R Rifling Mid-Length Gas 15" M-LOK Handguard MuzzLok® Flash Hider Barreled Upper Made in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio

The Faxon Match Series 16" .223 Wylde Gunner Barreled Upper is built for shooters who want a fast-handling AR15 upper that still delivers the precision advantages buyers expect from the Match Series line. This is a barreled upper assembly, not a complete firearm, and it comes configured with the parts that matter most for a strong general-purpose setup: a Faxon Match Series Gunner-profile barrel, a forged AR15 upper receiver, a fixed low-profile gas block, a mid-length stainless gas tube, a 15" M-LOK handguard, and a Faxon MuzzLok® ported 5.56 steel flash hider.

At the center of the build is the Faxon Match Series Gunner Profile 16" Mid-Length .223 Wylde AR15 Barrel. The Match Series uses 416R stainless steel, 5R button rifling, and a recessed 11-degree target crown to give shooters a cleaner precision path than a basic duty-grade upper, while the Gunner profile helps keep weight and balance practical for real-world use. The .223 Wylde chamber adds flexibility for shooters running both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition.

This upper is ideal for buyers who want one AR15 upper to do a lot well: training, range work, predator hunting, practical field use, and light competition. It is especially strong for shooters who want a more refined shooting experience than a generic mil-spec upper, but who still care about handling and speed. It is not a suppressor-tuned package out of the box. You can absolutely run this upper with a suppressor, but buyers planning a dedicated suppressed setup will usually want to move to an adjustable gas block and one of Faxon’s Plan B compatible MuzzLok® muzzle devices.

Like Faxon’s other premium rifle components, this upper reflects the company’s manufacturing roots in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio and a broader engineering heritage dating back to 1978. That matters for buyers who are not just comparing specs, but comparing who made the product and how it was built.

Best for: general-purpose AR15 builds, training rifles, range use, predator/varmint setups, and shooters who want Match Series barrel quality in a ready-to-build upper.
Not for: buyers looking for a complete firearm, or shooters who want a dedicated suppressor-ready gas setup straight out of the box.

FAQs

Is this a complete firearm? ▾

No. This is a barreled upper assembly. You will still need a compatible AR15 lower receiver, bolt carrier group, and charging handle to complete your build.

What comes installed on this barreled upper? ▾

This upper includes the upper receiver, barrel, handguard, gas block, gas tube, and muzzle device. It does not include a BCG, charging handle, or lower receiver.

Why choose .223 Wylde instead of a standard 5.56 chamber? ▾

.223 Wylde is popular with buyers who want the flexibility to run both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO while still pursuing strong practical accuracy.

Who is this upper best suited for? ▾

This upper is a strong fit for general-purpose AR15 builds, range rifles, predator and varmint use, training guns, and buyers who want Match Series barrel quality without stepping into a full custom upper build.

Is this upper suppressor ready? ▾

No. This is not a dedicated suppressor-ready variant. You can run it with a suppressor, but buyers planning heavy suppressed use will generally want an adjustable gas block and one of Faxon’s Plan B compatible MuzzLok® muzzle devices for a better suppressor-focused setup.

This upper uses a mid-length gas system with a fixed .625" 3 screw low profile gas block and a mid-length stainless steel gas tube.
