Product Description The Faxon Firearms Rimfire Pencil Barrel in .22 LR is a precision-engineered replacement barrel purpose-built for the Ruger 10/22 platform. Machined in-house at Faxon&';s Cincinnati facility directly from raw 416-R stainless steel bar stock, this 16-inch pencil-profile barrel is held to the same exacting standards that have made Faxon&';s AR and pistol barrels a market favorite.
