Faxon MATCH-X Series Barrel

The Gunner profile is designed to balance weight distribution by tapering the barrel significantly forward of the gas block. This reduces front-end weight for better handling and agility without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for heat dissipation and accuracy.

Yes. The .223 Wylde chamber is a hybrid design that safely and accurately accommodates both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO pressures, giving you the flexibility to use a wide variety of ammunition.

5R rifling features edges that are less sharp than traditional rifling, which reduces bullet deformation and makes the bore easier to clean. It also helps prevent copper fouling from building up as quickly, extending the time between deep cleanings.

This barrel requires a gas block with a 0.625-inch diameter. Ensure you select a block that matches this dimension, as it is slimmer than the standard 0.750-inch gas blocks found on many other AR-15 barrels.

Absolutely. The combination of 416R stainless steel, stress-relieved construction, and a honed, lapped bore makes this an excellent choice for competition. It is built to maintain consistent harmonics and accuracy even during extended range sessions.

The Nickel Teflon coating provides a self-lubricating, highly durable surface that resists wear and corrosion. This ensures smoother feeding and extraction, which is critical for reliability in a high-performance build.
