FAXON MATCH SERIES FLAME FLUTED® THREADED BARREL FOR G17 Gen 5 9MM
Faxon
$128.00
Description
Pistol Barrels › For Glock® › For G17 | Works with: EXOS-553 for Gen 5
Fit and Compatibility
This barrel is a direct replacement for the factory barrel in Glock® 17 Gen 5 and Gen 6 slides. It is machined to tight tolerances for consistent lockup, and it drops into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing. On some aftermarket slides, minor fitting may be needed.
Gen 6 compatibility: As of Job #16477 (engraved on the non-ejection side of the barrel hood), this barrel includes the Gen 6 relief cut and is compatible with the Glock® 17 Gen 5–6. Units made before Job #16477 are Gen 6 compatible, though increased wear in the area of the relief cut is possible.
Shipping: threaded barrels cannot be shipped to California.
How It’s Made
Every Faxon pistol barrel starts as a long 416-R stainless barrel blank that Faxon rifles in-house before it is ever cut into pistol barrels. That way the whole blank gets the same rifling, inspection, and stress relief, and every barrel cut from it starts from a qualified bore.
- Drill and ream: 416-R stainless bar gun-drilled and reamed as a long blank
- Button rifle: Button rifled 1:10, six grooves
- Air gauge: Bore and rifling air gauged
- Stress relieve: Stress relieved in-house after rifling, just like Faxon rifle barrels
- Cut and qualify: Blank cut to length and qualify-turned true to the bore
- Turn and mill: Hood, lugs, and Flame Fluted® profile turned and milled; 9mm SAAMI chamber and target crown cut; muzzle threaded 1/2x28
- Heat treat: 416-R heat treated to pistol-barrel hardness; 416-R isn’t hard enough for a pistol barrel as bar stock, while 4150 is
- Finish: Salt-bath QPQ nitrided inside and out
- Mark and inspect: Laser-marked and final inspected
Six-groove button rifling is land-and-groove rifling, not polygonal, so it runs jacketed and cast lead bullets. Salt-bath QPQ nitride is a diffusion treatment, not a plating: it hardens the bore and exterior and adds corrosion resistance and lubricity while adding virtually nothing to the dimensions.
How We Inspect It
Faxon pistol barrels are built to a written control plan, and each run is logged on inspection sheets. Here is what this barrel goes through before it ships.

| Certifications | Material certs checked at receiving; stress relief certified by lot |

Match Series G17 Gen 5–6 Barrel FAQs
Is this barrel drop-in?
Yes. It is a direct replacement for the factory barrel in Glock® 17 Gen 5 and Gen 6 slides with no gunsmithing on factory-spec slides. Some aftermarket slides may need minor fitting.
How is it rifled?
Button rifled, 1:10 twist, with six grooves. Faxon rifles a long blank in-house, air gauges the bore and rifling, and stress relieves it before cutting it into pistol barrels.
Can I shoot cast lead bullets?
Yes. Six-groove button rifling is land-and-groove rifling, not polygonal, so it runs both jacketed and cast lead bullets.
What is the difference between Duty Series and Match Series pistol barrels?
Duty Series barrels are 4150 CMV in an OEM-style profile with salt-bath nitride inside and out. Match Series barrels are 416-R stainless, heat treated for pistol-barrel hardness, and come in fluted profiles and PVD color options.
What finish is it?
Salt-bath QPQ nitride, inside and out.
Can I run a suppressor or compensator?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28, the common 9mm thread, and a thread protector is included. You will likely need suppressor-height sights to see over a suppressor.
Can it ship to California?
No. Threaded barrels cannot be shipped to California.
Where is it made?
In Greater Cincinnati, Ohio. Pistol barrels ship without an FFL.
