Product DescriptionThe Faxon Firearms Match Series 16" Pencil Profile .223 Wylde AR-15 barrel is engineered for shooters who want match-grade performance in an ultra-lightweight configuration. Made from 416R stainless steel and button-rifled with 5R rifling, it is designed to reduce jacket deformation for consistent velocity, enhanced accuracy, and easier cleaning. The .223 Wylde chamber supports precise .223 Remington performance while remaining safely compatible with 5.56 NATO pressures. For durability and low maintenance, the barrel is nitride treated inside and out, and the M4 barrel extension is finished with a Nickel Teflon coating for corrosion resistance, dry lubricity, and improved receiver fit. Each barrel is individually quality-checked (including magnetic particle inspection and headspace verification) for dependable performance.Product HighlightsMatch Series 416R stainless steel barrel with 5R button rifling for accuracy and reduced fouling.223 Wylde chamber designed for match precision with .223 Remington and safe use with 5.56 NATO16" pencil profile helps keep the front end light for faster transitions and reduced fatigueMid-length gas system for balanced cycling and smooth shooting characteristicsNitride (QPQ / salt bath nitride) treatment inside and out plus Nickel Teflon-coated M4 extension for corrosion resistance and consistencySpecsBrand: Faxon FirearmsManufacturer Part Number: 15BW8M16NPQ-5R-NP3UPC: 816341023123Platform: AR-15Caliber / Chamber: .223 WyldeBarrel Length: 16"Barrel Profile: PencilMaterial: 416R Stainless SteelRifling: 5R, button rifledTwist Rate: 1:8Gas System Length: Mid-LengthFinish: Nitride / QPQ (inside & out)Muzzle Threads: 1/2x28Gas Block Diameter: 0.625"Gas Block Journal Length: 1.1"Barrel Extension: M4, Nickel Teflon coatedCrown: 11Adeg recessed target crownApprox.
