(CINCINNATI, OH) - Faxon Firearms, incessant innovators in the firearms industry, is pleased to announce the release of Faxon’s latest series of barrels – the Match Series. The new Match Series of barrels takes Faxon’s renowned performance and value up a notch.
All Match Series barrels start as 416-R gun-barrel-quality stainless steel. Manufactured 100% in-house, the Match Series features 5R rifling for increased velocity, decreased bullet deformation, and ease of cleaning. All barrels are fully stress relieved and finally salt bath nitride coated inside and out for corrosion resistance and longevity. All Match Series barrels further feature NP3 coated extensions. The nickel-Teflon coating smooths feed ramps and its self-lubricating properties increase reliability. The Match Series will be available across all calibers that Faxon manufactures including 300 BLK, .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 Grendel, and newly released .223 Wylde. All calibers feature 1/8” twist except for .308 in 1/10”. Available contours will include Faxon’s famed pencil profile, Gunner, heavy fluted, and Flame fluted barrels. Lengths will vary by caliber. “We are thrilled to formally include .223 Wylde on our production barrels.” stated Nathanial Schueth, Director of Sales & Product Management. “The .223 Wylde chamber takes advantage of the Match Series’ 5R rifling, 416-R Stainless Steel, and NP3 extension to enhance accuracy while staying compatible with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO charged loads.” Faxon’s various stainless-steel barrels will all be upgraded to the Match Series of barrels over the next few months. Retail pricing for the barrels starts at $179 up to $409, depending on length, caliber, and profile. Launch profiles include 16” Gunner, 18” & 20” Heavy Fluted, and 20” Flame Fluted, all in .223 Wylde.

Very good, I've been waiting for the nitride to make its way to stainless steel

This is awesome news! Any thoughts on barrel lengths in 300? I'm always sad when I see you have a 7.5, and a 10.5, but nothing in the middle, like a 9".
Also, will you guys start pushing NP3 matching bolts, and maybe even BCGs, or keeping with nitride on the match series? |

Mmmm.... Nitrided Grendel... Offer them in 10-12 and 18 and my wallet might be in trouble.

Nitride is an awesome coating for BCGs with its hardness and penetration to the steel. |

Hopefully there are some flame fluted 16&18" 308 and Grendel barrels in the mix!
Now what the heck happened to the glock barrels? |

What type of accuracy increase can someone expect with the match barrels vs the standard barrels? Have a 16 gunner that I like the weight but not accuracy. Was looking at Rainer and Strongside as I have one or two more things to try before I change out the gunner, or relegate it to bay use. Will these offer similar accuracy as those brands of match barrels?

How soon is soon for .308 18" if you can say? I have a project in need of a new barrel.

Muzzle threaded concentric to the bore?
SPR profile 18 in barrel? |

If someone were to offer their barrels compatible with the Ops/ Allen Engineering mounts, they would address an unfilled segment of the market... Would be a simple machining operation...likely zero additional cost, just a minor profile change at the muzzle. |

View Quote Look for compatible offerings from Faxon's partner companies in the future, but we do not plan on the MK-12 profile from ourselves for the foreseeable future. |

What kind of accuracy are you guys seeing with 223 Wylde barrels? Thinking about one of the heavy match flame fluted barrels for a precision upper.

I'm getting 5 shot groups in the .800" with 77gr SMK and .900" with 55gr BTs. Fed m193 1-1/2". This is with 18" match gunner barrel on a rifle that weighs 6 lbs. with out scope.

What kind of difference in groupings can I expect, both cold and hot, between pencil and gunner profile Match barrels?

Is there any accuracy guarantee with the Match Series barrels?

What we will guarantee is that the barrel is held to within .0002" concentricity in the bore, which is mechanically capable of fantastic accuracy. From there, it is up to the completed system including receivers, bolts, headspace, ammunition, optics, trigger, shooter, etc. to also deliver. Since we are not able to qualify the system, we cannot guarantee accuracy of the complete system. |

Some of the people that rebrand their barrels and use them do though. They may be able to point you to someone who does if that is a concern
