5R rifling, 11-degree target crown, MPI inspected.

The Faxon 223 Wylde 14.5″ Gunner 5R Match Series Barrel is machined from 416R Stainless Steel, features 5R rifling, QPQ Nitride finish and Nickel Teflon coated M4 feed ramp extension. 100% manufactured in-house from match-grade gun-barrel bar-stock, Faxon puts their barrels through a battery of tests and individually checks each barrel for headspace using precision custom hardened gauges. The Faxon 223 Wylde 14.5″ Gunner 5R Match Series Barrel is configured with a Mid-Length gas system and features Faxon’s iconic Gunner profile.

The 5R rifling minimizes jacket deformation, bullet jump, and increases velocity – all accuracy improving features offered in Faxon’s Match series barrels.

Just what is the Gunner profile?

The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best performing profiles of all time! From extension to journal, the Gunner profile features the Government profile’s well-known taper. Innovation then takes over and the Gunner transitions to a 0.625″ gas block journal and pencil front end. Removing weight from the front of the barrel ensures maximum versatility and keeps material to the rear to maximize heat resistance and mitigate whip.
