The Faxon Firearms Gunner Barrel (brand part no. 15B22A7R16NGQ-5R-NP3) is a 16-inch AR-15 barrel chambered in .22 ARC. Faxon’s Gunner profile blends the durability of a government profile with the weight savings of a pencil profile, shifting the rifle’s balance back toward the shooter’s body to reduce fatigue over a long day of shooting, training, or hunting. Faxon’s Match Series construction starts with 416-R stainless steel cut with 5R rifling, a hybrid rifling style with lands opposite grooves that reduces bullet jacket deformation for better velocity retention and easier cleaning. The bore is nitride treated inside and out for barrel life and corrosion resistance, and the extension is coated in nickel Teflon for dry lubricity and a tighter fit against the receiver. Built by FAXON FIREARMS, this barrel pairs the newer .22 ARC cartridge with a proven Match Series build.
