The Faxon Match Series 16" Gunner Profile 22 ARC Barrel delivers exceptional balance, precision, and handling. Combining the lightweight agility of the Pencil profile with the durability of a Gov’t profile, Faxon’s Gunner Profile offers optimal weight distribution for sustained accuracy and comfort.

Built from 416R stainless steel and featuring 5R hybrid rifling, this barrel is optimized for modern, high-BC .22 caliber projectiles.
