The Faxon Firearms Match Series 6mm ARC barrel is a precision-engineered component built for shooters who demand accuracy and durability in a modern intermediate rifle platform. This 16-inch barrel combines Faxon's in-house manufacturing expertise with battle-tested materials and finishing to deliver match-grade performance whether you're training at the range, hunting, or building a reliable duty rifle. The Gunner profile strikes a practical balance between the robustness of a government-profile barrel and the lighter handling of a pencil design, bringing the balance point closer to your body to reduce shooter fatigue during extended sessions.
Starting with 416-R stainless steel bar-stock, this barrel features 5R button rifling—a hybrid design that places lands directly opposite grooves with reduced sharp angles. This geometry minimizes bullet jacket deformation, supporting higher velocities and easier cleaning between shots. The bore and exterior receive salt bath nitride treatment, a durable surface hardening that locks in bore consistency, extends barrel life, and resists environmental corrosion. The M4 barrel extension is coated in Nickel Teflon for slick dry lubricity and superior corrosion resistance; that coating also tightens the mechanical fit between extension and receiver, a detail that translates directly to improved accuracy.
Faxon backs this build with magnetic particle inspection to catch any material flaws before the barrel ships. The muzzle is recessed and crowned for target-grade consistency. At 1.57 pounds, the Gunner profile keeps weight reasonable without sacrificing the strength needed for hard use. Threaded 5/8x24 for common muzzle devices, with a .750-inch gas block diameter and 1.9-inch journal, this barrel integrates cleanly into mid-length or rifle-length gas systems.
The Match Series delivers performance value without compromise—a no-nonsense choice for shooters building or upgrading an AR platform in 6mm ARC.
| Caliber | 6mm ARC |
| Length | 16 inches |
| Material | 416-R Stainless Steel |
| Rifling | 5R Button Rifled |
| Twist Rate | 1:7.5 |
| Bore Finish | Salt Bath Nitride |
| Exterior Finish | Salt Bath Nitride |
| Muzzle Thread | 5/8x24 TPI |
| Gas Block Diameter | 0.750 inch |
| Gas Block Journal Length | 1.9 inches |
| Barrel Extension | M4, Nickel Teflon Coated |
| Weight | 1.57 lbs |
| Profile | Gunner |
The Gunner profile blends the strength and durability of a government profile with the lighter weight and maneuverability of a pencil profile. This hybrid design brings the rifle's balance point closer to your body, reducing fatigue during long training sessions, hunts, or duty work.
Yes, this barrel is designed for standard AR-15 platforms in 6mm ARC. It features an M4 extension, 0.750-inch gas block diameter, and 1.9-inch journal length compatible with mid-length and rifle-length gas systems. Verify your upper receiver is chambered in 6mm ARC before purchase.
5R is a hybrid rifling with lands positioned directly opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles. This design minimizes deformation of bullet jackets, supports higher velocities, and makes cleaning easier compared to traditional four-groove rifling.
The barrel is threaded 5/8x24 TPI, the standard thread pitch for most modern suppressors, muzzle brakes, and flash hiders. Verify the specifications of your intended muzzle device before installation.
