Faxon Match Series 20", Gunner, 224 Valkyrie, Rifle-Length, 416-R, Nitride, 5R, Nickel Teflon Extension, 1/6.5 Twist AR-15 Barrel - Annual Release
FaxonQuality is imbued into our barrels from the start. We start with the best materials, either certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R Stainless. From there, each barrel goes through a battery of tests at each operation until finished in Nitride and final inspected. All barrels are individually checked for headspace by precision custom hardened gauges.
Faxon's Match Series of barrels takes our renowned performance and value up a notch.
Manufactured in-house from gun-barrel-quality bar-stock, the Match Series starts with 416-R in 5R rifling. 5R is a hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles that reduces jacket deformation increasing velocity and easy cleaning. After rigorous testing, the barrels are Nitride treated inside and out, locking in the bore, improving barrel life, and keeping the elements at bay.
The extension is coated in Nickel Teflon which maintains incredible dry lubricity, corrosion resistance, and with the coating, tightens up fit between the extension and receiver - again improving upon accuracy. Combined, the Match Series of barrels are ready for when duty calls or the buzzer beeps with unrivaled performance value.

.224 Valkyrie Gunner barrel
My wife and I built a .224 Valkyrie for her to help protect our livestock and poultry from the coyote packs we have infesting our area. I could not be happier with the barrel. It’s light weight and very sturdy. My wife is 110lbs fully dressed in winter gear, and this build has turned out perfect for her. Wasn’t expecting perfect accuracy out of a semi auto, however it was sub MOA on the range. Went ahead and did suggested break in, using the hoppes field kit with bore snake. She has already put close to 100rds through the barrel and it’s flawless.

Faxon 20" 224 Valkyrie Gunner
Best barrel I have owned. Shoots 1 MOA. Should be sub MOA when it is broken in.

224 valkyrie
Took to the range today to try factory ammo. The barrel did not do well with federal 90 grain March king 2 1/2 spread.. I then tryed Hornady 88 grain match and my group improved to 3/4 group which is very promising. I can’t wait to start reloading to see it potential .
