FAXON MATCH SERIES HEAVY FLUTED 20" RIFLE-LENGTH .308 WIN AR10 BARREL
Faxon Match Series AR10 Barrel — Heavy Fluted 20" .308 Win (1:10 Twist, Rifle Gas)
416-R stainless steel • 5R button rifled • Salt bath nitride (QPQ) inside & out • Heavy fluted profile • Nickel Teflon coated extension • MPI inspected • Recessed 11° target crown • Rifle-length gas • .750" gas block journal • 1.1" journal length • 5/8x24 TPI
The Faxon Match Series Heavy Fluted 20" .308 Win AR10 barrel is built for shooters who want a precision-forward .308 AR10 barrel that maintains stability through extended strings of fire. With rifle-length gas and a 20-inch length, it’s a strong choice for competition, target shooting, and field-capable precision builds where consistency matters.
Match Series barrels begin with 416-R stainless steel and 5R button rifling. 5R geometry is designed to reduce jacket deformation and support consistent performance while remaining easy to maintain. After rigorous testing, the barrel receives salt bath nitride (QPQ) treatment inside and out to improve wear resistance, corrosion protection, and service life.
The heavy fluted profile increases surface area and helps manage heat while preserving practical rigidity for repeatable precision. A Nickel Teflon coated DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension adds dry lubricity and corrosion resistance at the receiver interface. Finished with a recessed 11-degree target crown and MPI inspection, this barrel is proudly American-made by a family-owned manufacturer in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
