FAXON MATCH SERIES HEAVY FLUTED 20" RIFLE-LENGTH 6.5 GRENDEL AR15 BARREL
Faxon Match Series — 20" Heavy Fluted 6.5 Grendel AR-15 Barrel (Rifle-Length Gas)
416R Stainless • 5R Rifling • Heavy Fluted • 1:8 Twist • Rifle-Length Gas • Nickel Teflon M4 Extension
The Faxon Match Series 20" Heavy Fluted 6.5 Grendel barrel brings long-range precision and unmatched durability to the AR-15 platform. The Heavy Fluted profile increases stiffness and heat dissipation while reducing overall weight, delivering superior accuracy and balance.
Each barrel is machined from 416R stainless steel with 5R button rifling for improved velocity, less fouling, and cleaner bores. After precision machining, the barrels are Nitride treated inside and out for corrosion resistance and extended barrel life. A Nickel Teflon–coated M4 extension ensures a tight receiver fit, reduced friction, and consistent accuracy.

I build custom AR platform guns & the overall craftsmanship of this barrel is excellent. Fit & finish is second to none. And it ‘shoots’; after break in it shot a 5 shot group/100 yds that we covered with a dime. Enough said.
Keep up the good quality work
