Faxon Match Series — 20" Flame Fluted® .223 Wylde AR-15 Barrel (Rifle-Length Gas)

The Faxon Match Series 20" Flame Fluted® .223 Wylde is engineered for long-range precision with a distinctive, heat-shedding contour. The Flame Fluted® profile trims forward weight, increases cooling surface area, and adds rigidity so groups stay consistent during extended strings of fire.

Machined from 416R stainless steel, 5R button rifled (1:8 twist), and salt bath nitrided inside & out for corrosion and wear resistance. Every Match barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, MPI-inspected, and headspace verified. A Nickel Teflon–coated M4 extension enhances lubricity and tightens the extension-to-receiver interface to support repeatable accuracy.
