FAXON MATCH SERIES FLAME FLUTED® THREADED BARREL FOR G17 GEN 2-4 9MM
FaxonFaxon Match Series Flame Fluted® Threaded Barrel for G17 Gen 2-4 9mm Nitride
Faxon's Match Series Pistol Barrels for G17 / Glock® 17 are machined 100% in-house from stress-relieved 416-R stainless steel. These barrels are then given a black Nitride or PVD coating to increase lubricity, barrel life, and resistance to surface wear. All barrels are conventionally rifled to allow a wider range of ammunition to be used, including cast lead. The barrels drop into factory-spec slides with no gunsmithing required. Better-than-factory tolerances ensure a consistent, tighter lockup than OEM.
The Faxon Match Series Flame Fluted® Threaded Barrel for Glock® G17 (Gen 2-4) delivers match-grade precision with patented style, functional cooling, and suppressor-ready capability in a drop-in upgrade. Featuring the signature Flame Fluted® design for reduced weight and superior heat dissipation, a threaded muzzle for compensators or suppressors, and a durable salt bath nitride finish, this barrel is ideal for competition, duty, training, or full-size custom builds.

Faxon Match Series Barrel for G17
The barrel arrived quickly and is in perfect shape. It fits perfectly into my Glock 17 GEN 3. After a quick fitting and lubrication, it makes the older G17 look and respond like new. I have a silencer ordered for my 9mm collection and can’t wait to try it with this barrel. Highly recommend this.
