Faxon Match Series — 18" Flame Fluted® .223 Wylde AR-15 Barrel (Rifle-Length Gas)

The Faxon Match Series 18" Flame Fluted® .223 Wylde delivers precision performance with stunning aesthetics. Its Flame Fluted® profile improves cooling and rigidity while trimming weight for superior balance. Designed for long-range accuracy, this barrel blends form and function for competition, training, or duty use.

Machined from 416R stainless steel and 5R button rifled (1:8 twist), then treated with salt bath nitride inside & out for corrosion resistance, this barrel offers smooth cleaning and extended service life. Each Match barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, MPI inspected, and headspace verified. The Nickel Teflon–coated M4 extension increases lubricity and tightens receiver fit for improved accuracy consistency.
