Faxon Flame Fluted 10/22 Tapered Barrel
I wanted a special barrel for a premium range toy build - not a bench rest rifle. I've always wanted a Faxon flame fluted barrel and it was everything I had hoped for. This might be the best looking 10/22 barrel ever! The fit in receiver was very tight, but that's what you want. It shoots great and looks great. I am 100% happy with my purchase.

Lightweight accurate barrel
This barrel looks good. Fit and finish is excellent. No machine or finishing marks and it is accurate out to 300 yards so far.

Faxon 10-22 fluted barrel
I have been looking a long time for a quality made precision barrel that would be an accurate, shooter and finally found one for my like new 35 year old 10-22. Following the you tube supplied, The installation was quick and easy. Once installed my son and I headed for the range. This 10-22 now drives tacks, in fact 50 shots were covered by a dime. I am so happy with this I will be looking for for Faxon barrels for some of my other guns. Thank you Faxon for such great quality and appearance of my "NEW" 10-22
