The Faxon Firearms 22 LR 16" Flame Fluted stainless steel barrel brings serious upgrade potential to your 10/22 platform. Built at Faxon's Cincinnati facility from 416-R stainless steel bar stock and finished with the distinctive Flame Fluted profile, this rimfire barrel combines weight savings with the same manufacturing rigor Faxon applies to their AR and pistol barrels. Whether you're a 22 enthusiast setting up a tack-driver for small-game hunting, a precision rimfire competitor, or someone building a lightweight trainer for the range, this barrel delivers dependable performance in a package that won't bog down your rifle.
The 16-inch length keeps the overall profile nimble while the 6-groove rifling at 1:16 twist stabilizes 22 LR ammunition reliably. Every barrel is magnetic particle inspected to catch internal defects before it ships, and the recessed target crown protects accuracy by keeping the muzzle crown true and resistant to dings. The Flame Fluted design isn't just eye candy—it reduces rotating mass compared to factory barrels, making for faster handling and potentially tighter groups when follow-up shots matter.
Faxon engineered this barrel to drop into 10/22 platforms without the headaches of precision smithing, so if you've got a rimfire rig that deserves better than factory iron, this is a no-fuss path to a noticeable difference. Tipping the scales at 1.4 pounds, it's a practical upgrade for hunters, target shooters, and anyone who believes the 22 LR deserves serious engineering.
