Product Description The Faxon Firearms Match Series 223 Wylde 16" Spiral Fluted Barrel is a precision-engineered component designed for AR-platform builds that demand accuracy, durability, and performance. Manufactured from premium 416R stainless steel and treated with a hard black nitride finish, this barrel offers outstanding corrosion resistance and extended service life. The deep spiral fluting across the barrel not only reduces weight but significantly improves heat dissipation during high-volume firing sessions. Chambered in 223 Wylde, it delivers compatibility with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition without compromising precision. A 1:8 twist rate and 5R rifling further enhance bullet stabilization across a wide range of projectile weights. The threaded muzzle provides convenient compatibility with suppressors, compensators, and other muzzle devices, making this barrel a versatile upgrade for any serious rifle build.
