Faxon Rimfire 16″ Flame Fluted 416R SS Nitride Threaded 10/22 Barrel

The Faxon Rimfire 16″ Flame Fluted 416R SS Nitride Threaded 10/22 Barrel brings premium materials and precision machining to the rimfire world. Designed specifically for Ruger 10/22 and compatible platforms, this barrel delivers exceptional accuracy, balance, and durability in a lightweight configuration. Machined from 416R stainless steel and finished with a salt bath nitride treatment, it provides long-lasting resistance to wear, corrosion, and heat without compromising Faxon’s renowned manufacturing tolerances.

The flame fluted design is more than just visual appeal—it reduces overall weight while enhancing rigidity and increasing surface area for improved heat dissipation. This helps maintain accuracy over long shooting sessions by minimizing heat-related shifts in point of impact. At 16 inches long and weighing approximately 1.4 lbs, the barrel maintains a well-balanced feel, perfect for competition, target shooting, or plinking with friends.

Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the barrel features 6-groove button rifling with a 1:16 twist rate. This configuration is optimized for both standard and high-velocity loads, offering excellent bullet stabilization and minimal deformation. The button rifling also helps reduce fouling, making cleaning easier while preserving the barrel’s accuracy over time.

The muzzle is threaded with the industry-standard 1/2×28 TPI, offering easy compatibility with most rimfire suppressors, brakes, or compensators. A recessed target crown at the muzzle ensures uniform gas release, enhancing shot-to-shot consistency and tightening group sizes at distance. The salt bath nitride treatment covers both the bore and exterior for unmatched durability and a clean, low-glare finish.

Compatible with Ruger 10/22 and similar platforms, this barrel is a drop-in upgrade for builders seeking high-end performance from their rimfire rifles.
