Faxon Firearms Match Series Features The Faxon Firearms Match Series barrel starts with 416-R stainless steel a material favored in precision rifle barrels for its machinability and resistance to the corrosive effects of modern rifle cartridges. The barrel uses 5R rifling a hybrid design with lands positioned opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles compared to traditional rifling which lessens jacket deformation on the bullet as it travels down the bore. This reduced deformation helps maintain more consistent velocities and can translate into tighter groups at distance. A button rifled process with a 1 in 8 inch twist rate is tuned to stabilize the heavier bullet weights commonly used in long range 6.5 Creedmoor loads. A recessed target crown at the muzzle protects the rifling from damage during handling and transport which helps preserve accuracy over the life of the barrel. The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts a suppressor or muzzle brake giving shooters flexibility for recoil management or sound reduction. Finished with a bead blasted stainless exterior the barrel offers a clean low-glare appearance that also resists corrosion. At 24 inches in length and 4.53 pounds this barrel gives precision rifle builders a dependable upgrade path for 6.5 Creedmoor accuracy work.
