Faxon Match Series 20″ Target .223 Wylde 416R SS Matte 5R Rifle‑Length Barrel
The Faxon Match Series 20″ Target .223 Wylde barrel is built for shooters craving long‑range precision in a full‑sized AR‑15 build. Forged from 416R stainless steel and bead‑blast matte finished, this barrel offers corrosion resistance and maintains bore integrity under repeated firing. Its Target profile adds mass for harmonic control, ensuring minimal whip and consistent shot placement.
Chambered in .223 Wylde with a 1:8 twist rate and 5R rifling, this barrel stabilizes a wide spectrum of bullets—from fast varmint rounds to heavier match projectiles—delivering reliable downrange ballistics. The rifle‑length gas system smooths cycling and recoil, making follow‑up shots faster and more predictable. Muzzle threading is 1/2×28 TPI, accommodating brakes, compensators, or suppressors with ease.
At 20″ in length and 3.10 lbs, this barrel balances rigidity with manageable weight. Faxon’s magnetic particle inspection and air‑gauge testing guarantee straightness and exact bore dimensions. The M4 feed‑ramp extension, coated in Nickel‑Teflon NP3, provides a tight lockup with Mil‑Spec uppers, while the recessed 11° crown ensures consistent muzzle gas release for the tightest groups.
Ideal for competition rifles, tactical builds, or precision trainers, the 20″ Target .223 Wylde barrel delivers match‑grade reliability and accuracy.
