Faxon Firearms 16" GUNNER .223 Wylde Midlength 416R Stainless 5R Honed & Lapped Barrel 1:8 Twist - $119.95

Description

The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best-performing profiles of all time, Gov’t and Pencil. Faxon’s Gunner profile combines the durability of the Gov’t profile with the weight savings and maneuverability of the Pencil profile. The Gunner profile brings the rifle’s balance back towards the shooter’s body, limiting fatigue and allowing shooting, training, or hunting all day long.
Faxon Firearms barrels are the pinnacle of value. Manufactured 100% in-house from cradle to grave, these barrels are fully stress-relieved, air-gauge tested, and 11-degree target-crowned to ensure superior accuracy.
Manufactured in-house from gun-barrel-quality bar-stock, the Match Series starts with 416-R in 5R rifling. 5R is a hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles that minimize jacket deformation, increasing velocity and easy cleaning. We chamber our Match Series in .223 Wylde, a hybrid chamber that the 5R rifling takes full advantage of. Better accuracy with less bullet jump, 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 provides incredible dry lubricity and corrosion resistance, and, with the coating, tightens the fit between the extension and receiver – again improving accuracy. Combined, the Match Series of barrels is ready when duty calls or the buzzer beeps, with unrivaled performance value.
