Faxon Match Series 9″ Gunner .338 ARC Pistol-Length Barrel – NP3 Extension

Compact Power and Precision for the .338 ARC Platform

The Faxon Match Series 9″ Gunner .338 ARC Barrel brings the cutting-edge ballistics of the .338 Advanced Rifle Cartridge to a compact AR-15 platform. Designed and manufactured entirely in the U.S.A., this barrel delivers match-grade accuracy, durable construction, and flawless function in both suppressed and unsuppressed configurations. Ideal for hunters, precision shooters, and advanced builders, this 9″ Gunner barrel offers exceptional energy retention and accuracy in a short, maneuverable package.

Match Series Precision – Engineered for Accuracy

Every Faxon Match Series barrel is crafted from 416-R stainless steel, honed, and lapped for an ultra-smooth bore finish. The 5R button rifling design reduces bullet deformation and fouling while improving velocity consistency and accuracy. Faxon’s precision machining and quality control deliver sub-MOA potential and smooth, reliable cycling in all conditions.

Gunner Profile – Lightweight Balance and Rigidity

The Gunner profile combines the weight savings of a pencil contour with the rigidity of a government profile, creating a balanced barrel that manages heat exceptionally well. This design improves handling and control without sacrificing the accuracy demanded by serious shooters. It’s the perfect choice for .338 ARC pistol builds and compact AR platforms where precision meets maneuverability.

Optimized for .338 ARC Ballistics

Chambered in .338 ARC, this Faxon Match Series barrel provides impressive downrange energy and terminal performance in a short-barreled format. The pistol-length gas system ensures reliable cycling whether shooting suppressed or unsuppressed, while the 1:5 twist rate stabilizes heavy, high-BC projectiles for long-range consistency. Builders can expect superior precision and versatility from one of the most advanced short-barrel configurations available.

Premium Materials & Finishes

Each barrel is machined from 416-R stainless steel and finished in QPQ black nitride inside and out for superior corrosion and wear resistance. The NP3-coated barrel extension offers a slick, self-lubricating surface for smooth bolt lockup and long-term reliability. Every detail is engineered to extend service life and deliver consistent accuracy through thousands of rounds.
