The Faxon Match Series Spiral Fluted 20" .308 Win AR10 barrel is designed for shooters who want precision-forward performance with a refined balance of weight, rigidity, and heat management. With rifle-length gas and a 20-inch length, it’s a strong option for competition, target shooting, and field-capable .308 AR10 builds.
Match Series barrels begin with 416-R stainless steel and 5R button rifling. 5R geometry is designed to reduce jacket deformation and support consistent performance while remaining easy to maintain. After rigorous testing, the barrel receives salt bath nitride (QPQ) treatment inside and out to improve wear resistance, corrosion protection, and service life.
The spiral fluted profile trims weight and adds surface area to support practical cooling during extended firing, while preserving the stability shooters expect from a precision-oriented barrel. A Nickel Teflon coated DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension adds dry lubricity and corrosion resistance at the receiver interface. Finished with a recessed 11-degree target crown and MPI inspection, this barrel is proudly American-made by a family-owned manufacturer in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
