Faxon Firearms Match Series Medium Barrel Features The Faxon Firearms Match Series Medium Barrel is machined from 416-R stainless steel a premium barrel steel known for its machinability and consistent accuracy potential in rimfire applications. At 18.5 inches long with a medium contour the barrel adds stiffness over thinner factory profiles helping reduce harmonic whip during firing for tighter more consistent groups. This makes it a solid choice for shooters looking to extract more precision from their Ruger 10/22 without jumping to a heavy bull barrel profile. The medium contour also keeps the rifle s balance reasonable for offhand shooting and field carry. A black nitride finish is applied over the stainless steel adding wear resistance and corrosion protection while giving the barrel a durable low-maintenance exterior. This finish holds up well to range use and field conditions resisting the kind of surface wear that can affect a bare stainless or blued barrel over time. Built as a direct fit replacement for the Ruger 10/22 platform installation follows the same straightforward process as any 10/22 barrel swap. For shooters looking to upgrade accuracy on a 10/22 used for plinking small game hunting or rimfire competition the Faxon Match Series Medium Barrel offers a meaningful step up from factory equipment.
