Faxon Match Series 16″ Spiral Fluted .223 Wylde 416R Stainless Nitride 5R Mid‑Length Barrel
The Match Series spiral‑fluted barrel from Faxon Firearms brings bench‑grade accuracy to your AR‑15 platform. Machined from premium 416R stainless steel, each barrel is button‑rifled using the proven 5R profile and rigorously air‑gauge tested for straightness. The spiral flutes shed weight without sacrificing stiffness, while the recessed 11° target crown delivers uniform gas release for pinpoint groups.
Chambered in .223 Wylde, this 16″ mid‑length barrel uses a 1:8 twist rate to stabilize a broad range of bullet weights—from lightweight varmint loads to heavy match projectiles. The mid‑length gas system (.750″ journal) smooths recoil and optimizes dwell time for reliable cycling, even when suppressed. A 1/2×28 TPI muzzle thread allows quick mounting of brakes, compensators, or suppressors, and the M4 feed‑ramp extension—finished in corrosion‑resistant Nickel Teflon—ensures rock‑solid lockup with Mil‑Spec uppers.
Every barrel is salt‑bath nitride treated inside and out, locking in the bore, enhancing barrel life, and providing a low‑glare matte finish. Weighing just 1.75 lbs and measuring 16″ overall, it strikes the perfect balance between stiffness and maneuverability. Faxon performs magnetic particle inspection (MPI) on each bore to verify integrity before it ships.
Whether you’re building a precision competition rifle, tactical marksman platform, or hunting rig, the 16″ Match Series barrel delivers the consistency and durability your build demands.
