Faxon Firearms Match 223 Wylde 16'' 1-8 Heavy Fluted Contour Bbl Nitride$285.20
Availability: In Stock
The Faxon Firearms Rimfire .22 LR 16'' barrel in flame fluted bull contour is built for shooters who want AR-platform quality in a classic rimfire platform. Faxon manufactures this barrel in-house from 416-R stainless steel at their Cincinnati facility, applying the same precision and testing standards that earned their AR and pistol barrels a reputation among serious shooters. Whether you're building a custom 10/22, setting up a dedicated .22 LR trainer, or looking to upgrade a rimfire rifle, this barrel delivers the accuracy and attention to detail you'd expect from a premium aftermarket component—without the heft of a factory barrel.
The 1:16 twist rifling and recessed target crown are engineered for reliable, consistent performance across the full spectrum of .22 LR ammunition, from standard velocity to high-velocity loads. The salt bath nitride finish provides corrosion resistance and durability, protecting your investment through regular use and storage. The signature flame fluted profile isn't just visual appeal—the fluting reduces weight while maintaining rigidity, a design philosophy Faxon adapted from their popular AR barrel lineup. At 1.4 lbs, this barrel is noticeably lighter than factory equipment, an advantage whether you're minimizing overall rifle weight or simply appreciating the balance improvement.
Every Faxon rimfire barrel undergoes magnetic particle inspection to catch subsurface defects before they leave the shop. That level of quality control, combined with in-house manufacturing and the proven flame fluted geometry, sets this barrel apart from generic surplus or import options. If you're upgrading a .22 LR or building from the ground up, this is a barrel that reflects Faxon's core belief: quality firearms bring people together, and that commitment starts with parts you can trust.
