Availability: In Stock
The Faxon 10/22 Barrel in .22 LR with a lightweight pencil profile is purpose-built for shooters who want factory-quality rimfire performance without the weight penalty of standard 10/22 barrels. Faxon Firearms manufactures these barrels in-house at their Cincinnati facility from 416-R stainless steel, subjecting each one to the same rigorous quality control and magnetic particle inspection that has earned their AR and pistol barrels a solid reputation among serious shooters. This 16-inch barrel delivers the accuracy and durability you'd expect from a dedicated gunmaker, not a generic supplier.
The pencil profile strikes a balance between a traditional tapered profile and a heavier bull barrel, making it ideal for 10/22 owners who prioritize handling and reduced felt recoil without sacrificing precision. With its recessed target crown and crisp 6-groove rifling at a 1:16 twist rate, this barrel supports both casual plinking and more focused accuracy work. Whether you're introducing a new shooter to rimfire or you're a seasoned competitor looking to upgrade your favorite .22, the lightweight design means less fatigue during extended range sessions.
The barrel ships in either Salt Bath Nitride or PVD finish—both tough coatings that resist corrosion and wear. At 1.4 lbs, you'll notice the weight savings compared to factory Ruger 10/22 barrels, and that reduction translates directly to better balance and quicker target transitions. This is a no-compromise upgrade for a rifle platform that's earned its place in generations of American shooting.
