What it is
The Faxon Match Series 16" 6.5 Grendel Gunner Barreled Upper is a high-accuracy upper assembly designed for long-range precision, hunting, and tactical use in an AR-15 platform. The 6.5 Grendel delivers flat trajectories, high BC projectiles, and excellent energy retention out to 600+ yards — all with mild recoil — making this upper ideal for varmint control, deer hunting, PRS-style competition, or any application needing superior ballistics in a lightweight package.
Centered on Faxon’s Match Series Gunner profile barrel (button-rifled in-house, 1:8 twist, stress-relieved, MPI-inspected, Nickel Teflon extension for reliable feeding) with mid-length gas system for smooth, soft cycling. It ships with Faxon’s MuzzLok® ported flash hider (7.62 steel, nitride) for effective flash suppression and porting to reduce muzzle rise. Paired with the Streamline 15" M-LOK handguard, fixed low-profile gas block, and mid-length stainless gas tube for modular versatility and balanced handling.
Sub-MOA capable, reliable, and optimized for distance — the Match Series upper that extends your effective range without excess weight.
Who it’s for / not for
- Best for: Precision hunters, long-range shooters, varmint control, PRS/competition builds needing flat-shooting 6.5 Grendel performance.

- Not ideal for: Close-quarters defense (consider 5.56 or 300 BLK), ultralight backpacking (try Pencil profile), high-volume plinking (6.5 Grendel ammo cost & availability).

FAQs
Is this compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers?▾
Yes — this 6.5 Grendel barreled upper mates directly with standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers (requires 6.5 Grendel-specific magazines and BCG).
What is the MuzzLok® ported flash hider?▾
The MuzzLok® ported flash hider reduces visible muzzle flash while ports help control muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots — excellent for low-light hunting or tactical scenarios.
Where is the barrel made?▾
Made in the USA — Faxon manufactures the Match Series barrel in-house in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
What is “Match Series” and why choose it?▾
Match Series barrels are precision-rifled for sub-MOA accuracy with features like Nickel Teflon extensions for reliable feeding — ideal for precision shooting and hunting where shot placement matters most.
What’s the advantage of the Gunner profile?▾
The Gunner profile combines lightweight design with added rigidity forward for excellent balance, heat resistance, and harmonics — perfect for long-range accuracy without the weight of heavier contours.
Does this include a bolt carrier group or charging handle?▾
No — this is a barreled upper assembly only. Pair it with a 6.5 Grendel BCG and charging handle from the "Shop BCGs" link above to complete your build.
