The Faxon Match Series Heavy Fluted 24" 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 barrel is engineered for shooters who demand a balance of precision, durability, and weight optimization in long-range AR10 platforms. Designed for competition, precision target shooting, and refined hunting builds, this barrel delivers repeatable accuracy without unnecessary mass.
Match Series barrels are manufactured in-house from 416-R stainless steel and feature 5R button rifling, a geometry that reduces bullet jacket deformation and supports consistent velocities while remaining easy to maintain. After rifling, each barrel is treated with a salt bath nitride (QPQ) process inside and out, improving wear resistance, corrosion protection, and barrel life under sustained use.
The heavy fluted profile reduces weight while maintaining rigidity and increasing surface area for improved heat dissipation. A Nickel Teflon coated DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension enhances corrosion resistance and smooth fitment at the receiver interface. Finished with a recessed target crown and MPI inspected, this barrel is proudly American-made by a family-owned manufacturer in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
