Faxon Match Series AR10 Barrel — Spiral Fluted 20" .308 Win (1:10 Twist, Rifle Gas)

416-R stainless steel • 5R button rifled • Salt bath nitride (QPQ) inside & out • Spiral fluted profile • Nickel Teflon coated extension • MPI inspected • Recessed 11° target crown • Rifle-length gas • .750" gas block journal • 1.1" journal length • 5/8x24 TPI

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.

Key Benefits

  • Match Series durability: QPQ nitride inside & out helps resist corrosion and wear.
  • Spiral fluting: Reduces weight while maintaining practical rigidity and increasing surface area for heat management.
  • 5R rifling: Designed to reduce jacket deformation and support easier cleaning.
  • 416-R stainless steel: Excellent for precision barrels and consistent thermal behavior.
  • Nickel Teflon extension: Dry lubricity and corrosion resistance at the receiver interface.
  • Precision crown: Recessed 11° target crown helps protect accuracy at the muzzle.
  • Rifle-length gas: Smooth recoil impulse and tuning flexibility for .308 AR10 builds.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Precision AR10 builds: A proven 20" .308 configuration for practical precision.
  • Competition & target: Durable nitride finish supports high-round-count training.
  • Field-capable long-range: Fluting reduces carry weight while maintaining stability.
  • Suppressor-ready setups: 5/8x24 supports common .30-cal muzzle devices (verify alignment/mount specs).

Frequently Asked Questions

What does spiral fluting do?
Spiral fluting reduces barrel weight while maintaining practical rigidity and increasing surface area, which can help manage heat during extended firing.
Is this compatible with DPMS / LR-308 pattern AR10 receivers?
Yes. This barrel uses a DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension. Always confirm compatibility with your bolt, receiver set, and components.
Is the Match Series honed and lapped?
No. Match Series barrels feature 416-R stainless, 5R button rifling, and QPQ nitride inside and out, but are not honed and lapped (that is specific to AXIS Series barrels).
What does QPQ nitride add to performance?
QPQ salt bath nitride improves corrosion resistance and wear and can reduce fouling for easier maintenance while supporting long service life.
