The Faxon 6.5 Grendel 20″ Heavy Fluted 5R Match Series Barrel is engineered to deliver superior accuracy and durability for long-range builds. Crafted entirely in-house from 416R stainless steel, this barrel features aggressive straight fluting to reduce weight and enhance heat dissipation without compromising structural integrity. The barrel receives a QPQ Nitride finish inside and out for corrosion resistance and extended lifespan, while the Nickel Teflon-coated M4 feed ramp extension ensures ultra-smooth cycling.

Part of Faxon’s renowned Match Series, the 20″ Grendel barrel features 5R rifling, which minimizes bullet deformation, reduces fouling, and promotes higher velocities.
