Faxon Match Series 16″ Gunner .223 Wylde 416R SS Matte 5R Mid‑Length Barrel
The Faxon Match Series 16″ Gunner .223 Wylde barrel blends the maneuverability of a mid‑length AR‑15 with match‑grade accuracy. Machined from 416R stainless steel and bead‑blast matte finished, this barrel is fully stress‑relieved and air‑gauge tested for straightness. Its Gunner contour adds rigidity at the chamber, tapering toward the muzzle to shed weight and improve handling without compromising stability.
Chambered in .223 Wylde with a 1:8 twist rate and 5R button rifling, the barrel stabilizes both light varmint loads and heavy match projectiles for consistent downrange performance. The mid‑length gas system (.625″ gas‑block journal) optimizes dwell time for smooth cycling and a balanced recoil impulse, making rapid follow‑up shots effortless. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 TPI for quick attachment of brakes, compensators, or suppressors.
Weighing 1.35 lbs and measuring 16″ overall, this barrel keeps the front end light for dynamic shooting while maintaining harmonic control. The M4 feed‑ramp extension, coated in NP3 Nickel‑Teflon, provides a precise lockup with Mil‑Spec uppers, and the recessed 11° crown promotes uniform gas release for the tightest possible groups. Faxon performs magnetic particle inspection and air‑gauge testing on every barrel to ensure quality and reliability.
Whether you’re building a high‑speed competition rig, tactical carbine, or varmint gun, the 16″ Gunner .223 Wylde barrel delivers the consistency and durability your platform demands.
