Faxon 10.5″ Straight Fluted 416R SS Black Nitride Threaded 10/22 Barrel

The Faxon 10.5″ Straight Fluted 416R SS Black Nitride Threaded 10/22 Barrel is purpose-built for rimfire enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance in a compact and lightweight configuration. Designed and manufactured in-house by Faxon, this barrel combines match-grade construction with precision engineering to deliver exceptional accuracy, consistency, and ruggedness in a small form factor. Machined from 416R stainless steel and finished in a salt bath nitride process, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, increased barrel life, and a durable, non-reflective finish.

Measuring 10.5 inches in length, this barrel is ideal for compact rimfire builds—perfect for suppressed plinking setups, short hunting carbines, or lightweight range guns. Its straight fluted profile helps reduce overall weight while adding rigidity and increasing surface area for improved heat dissipation. The result is a barrel that remains cool and consistent during rapid strings of fire, preserving accuracy and preventing thermal distortion.

Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the barrel uses 6-groove button rifling with a 1:16 twist rate, which is optimized for standard and high-velocity rimfire ammunition. This rifling profile minimizes bullet deformation and fouling, contributing to greater velocity retention and simplified cleaning between shooting sessions. The bore and exterior are nitride treated, creating a hardened surface that resists corrosion, abrasion, and wear from carbon buildup and environmental exposure.

The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 TPI, offering compatibility with a wide range of rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. A recessed target crown ensures consistent gas exit at the muzzle for improved shot-to-shot precision. At just 0.78 lbs, this barrel maintains exceptional balance and ease of handling while still delivering Faxon’s renowned performance standards.

Compatible with Ruger 10/22 and similar platforms, installation is straightforward and secure in most aftermarket receivers and chassis systems.
