Faxon Match Series — 13.9" Gunner Profile .223 Wylde AR-15 Barrel (Mid-Length Gas)

416R Stainless • 5R rifling • Nickel Teflon M4 extension • Nitride inside & out

The Match Series 13.9" Gunner .223 Wylde blends Gov’t durability with Pencil-like agility for a fast, balanced carbine. Chambered in .223 Wylde for precision with .223 Rem and reliable 5.56 NATO compatibility, it’s a premium choice for performance-focused builds—especially popular for pin-and-weld configurations to reach 16" OAL (verify all local laws).

Built from 416R stainless steel with 5R rifling, button-rifled 1:8 twist, and finished inside & out in salt bath nitride, this barrel delivers accuracy, consistency, and corrosion resistance. Every Faxon barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, MPI-inspected, and headspace checked. The M4 extension features a Nickel Teflon coating for slick, reliable feeding.

    Faxon 13.9 Match Series

    Posted by Alan Stillwell on Aug 1st 2023

    I had reasonable expectations with this being a $230 barrel, but when it consistently shot sub MOA (some groups closer to 1/2 MOA) with Hornady Match ammo I was very impressed. This barrel punches way above it's weight and is quite a value. It compares with match barrels costing 3x. 5 stars

    Another Flawless Faxon Barrel

    Posted by DEAN JOHNSON on Mar 2nd 2023

    This is my 3rd Faxon barrel I have purchased. Once again they knocked it out of the park. Perfect fit and finish, light and great grouping. I will only purchase Faxon barrels and products.
