Faxon Firearms 16 Inch Flame Fluted Black Nitride 416 Stainless Steel Barrel With Mid Length Gas Port For AR15 Style .223 Wylde

Faxon's Match Series of barrels takes their renowned performance and value up a notch. Manufactured 100% in-house from gun barrel quality bar stock, the Match Series starts with 416R in 5R rifling. 5R is a hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles that reduces jacket deformation increasing velocity and easy cleaning. Faxon chambers this barrel in .223 Wylde. Better accuracy through less bullet jump, but fully and individually MPI tested for your safety. After rigorous testing, the barrels are nitride treated inside and out, locking in the bore, improving barrel life, and keeping the elements at bay.

The extension is coated in nickel teflon which maintains incredible dry lubricity, corrosion resistance, and with the coating, tightens up fit between the extension and receiver - again improving upon accuracy. Combined, the Match Series of barrels are ready for when duty calls or the buzzer beeps with unrivaled performance value. Their valued flame fluted barrel improved with QPQ and with stainless accuracy. Variable-depth fluting gives the barrel fantastic performance and an unmistakable look.

Shooter

Installed one of these to replace a tired BCM lightweight barrel. Only about 3 oz. heavier, but now I have a smoother operating rifle (mid-length vs. carbine gas system) that is very accurate. I use a Superlative adjustable gas block and this barrel is dead on both suppressed and unsuppressed. Great barrel and more importantly, the best customer service around. Faxon and Tactical Link are a winning combination.

NOT THE FIRST

This is my third Faxon barrel, and like the first two, it does not disappoint. Performance at a bargain price. Not quite a JP or NTD, but a real fine barrel at half the price. Do the proper break in and you will have a sweet shooter. Also, unlike my premium barreled rifles, this one seems to shoot 55g, 62g, and larger projectiles up to 77g equally well. Saves me $$ with not having to shoot expensive ammo. Buy any of Faxon's barrels with confidence. Treat and feed them well and you will be rewarded with a consistent performing weapon!

All barrels should have fluting, this one is way under 2 pounds, and makes for a very light weight rifle build. With the flame fluting its a shame to cover it up with a 15 inch hand guard, but those are the only hand guards I use. In the past the problem has always been, when you but together a completely equipped rifle i.e. sling, optics, sights, light etc, then stick in two 30 round magazines coupled together, and you have a very heavy package, which is not practical for a go to or bug out weapon. If you're looking for a completely equipped AR15 under 8 pounds, this is a pretty good start.

I have been waiting to find this flame fluted faxton barrel in stock for months and finally found it at tactical link. Shipped next day and arrived a few days later. Just pulled it out to start assembling the upper and found the finish on the barrel is flawed and looks pretty crumby. Was looking forward to showing off the fluting but now I can’t wait to cover the barrel with a 15.75 inch handgaurd.

Q: its the gas port dimpled on the opposite side of the gas hole if not how do you align correctly and how does a gas block stay in place without moving. I can use a 3 elan screw titanium .750 gas block with red high heat red lock tight but it won't matter if there's not a hole to keep the gas block aligned and indexed. please advise as I know this barrel well and this is a major issue with this barrel Unless you want to pin it and ruin the barrel Faxon arms needs to put a dimple opposite side to the gas hole or the block will move every time guaranteed eventually and gun will stop functioning. I know this for a fact on multiple barrels friends own. this is the main reason I don't own one/won. Thanks Again
