We ensure quality from the outset with our barrels. Starting with either certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R stainless, each barrel undergoes rigorous testing at every stage until completion with nitride finishing and final inspection. Precision custom hardened gauges individually check all barrels for headspace. Faxon's Match series barrels elevate our renowned performance and value. Crafted in-house from high-quality gun-barrel-grade bar-stock, our Match series begins with 416-R stainless steel featuring 5R rifling. This hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles, minimizes jacket deformation, increases velocity and simplifies cleaning. Optimized for the .22 ARC cartridge, each barrel undergoes full and individual MPI testing for safety. Following testing, nitride treatment enhances barrel life and weather resistance, while nickel teflon coating on the extension ensures excellent dry lubricity and corrosion resistance, tightening the fit between extension and receiver to enhance accuracy. Combined, our Match series barrels deliver unparalleled performance value for any mission or competition scenario.
