Faxon Rimfire 16" Straight Fluted 416R SS Black Nitride Threaded 10/22 Barrel

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

The Faxon Rimfire 16″ Straight Fluted 416R SS Threaded 10/22 Barrel is built for rimfire shooters who demand consistent accuracy, lightweight handling, and superior craftsmanship. Precision machined in-house from 416R stainless steel, this barrel offers the perfect upgrade for Ruger 10/22 owners or anyone building a precision rimfire rifle. Its straight fluted profile adds structural rigidity while reducing unnecessary weight and increasing surface area for improved heat dissipation during extended firing sessions.

At 16 inches in length, the barrel provides an excellent balance of velocity and maneuverability, making it suitable for recreational plinking, small game hunting, or rimfire competition. The .22 Long Rifle chambering is paired with a 1:16 twist rate and 6-groove button rifling, optimized to stabilize both standard and high-velocity loads with minimal jacket deformation. This results in improved shot-to-shot consistency, reduced fouling, and easier cleaning between sessions.

The bore and exterior surfaces are treated with a salt bath nitride finish, significantly enhancing corrosion resistance and surface hardness. This treatment extends the lifespan of the barrel while maintaining the tight manufacturing tolerances required for precision accuracy. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 TPI to accommodate a variety of rimfire suppressors, brakes, or compensators, offering flexibility for shooters who prefer suppressed or tuned performance.

A recessed target crown ensures clean and consistent bullet departure at the muzzle, supporting tight groupings and improved downrange performance. Weighing in at approximately 1.4 lbs, this barrel adds stability to your build without excess front-end weight, maintaining balance and control across different shooting positions.

Compatible with Ruger 10/22 rifles and other similar platforms, installation is straightforward for most chassis systems and receivers.
