The Faxon Match series barrels are designed to elevate performance and value, crafted entirely in-house from premium gun-barrel-quality bar-stock. Constructed from 416-R stainless steel, these barrels feature 5R rifling, a hybrid design that places lands opposite grooves to minimize sharp angles. This innovative rifling reduces jacket deformation, enhances velocity and simplifies cleaning. After extensive testing, each barrel undergoes a nitride treatment both inside and out, securing the bore, extending barrel life and providing robust protection against environmental elements. The barrel extension is finished with a Nickel Teflon coating, offering exceptional dry lubricity and corrosion resistance, while ensuring a precise fit between the extension and receiver to further enhance accuracy. The Faxon Match series barrels are engineered to deliver unmatched performance and reliability, suitable for both critical duty situations and competitive shooting environments.
