.223 Wylde

Faxon Match Series .223 Wylde barrels are precision-engineered AR-15 barrels designed for shooters who demand exceptional accuracy, consistency, and refined performance. Manufactured in the USA from premium 416-R stainless steel, each barrel features 5R rifling to reduce jacket deformation, a recessed 11-degree target crown for consistent bullet exit, and a nickel-Teflon® coated barrel extension for smooth, reliable lockup.

Every Match Series barrel is fully machined and stress relieved in-house, air gauge inspected for bore uniformity, and 100% magnetic particle inspected to verify material integrity after machining. Offered in a wide range of profiles, fluting options, gas system lengths, and barrel lengths, Match Series .223 Wylde barrels deliver competition-grade accuracy in a ready-to-run format.
