The Faxon Firearms Match Barrel (brand part no. 15BW8M16SHQ5RNP3) is a 16-inch, spiral fluted barrel chambered in .223 Wylde and machined from 416 stainless steel for match-grade accuracy. Faxon finishes the barrel in Black Nitride for corrosion resistance and smoother cycling, and the spiral fluting trims weight without sacrificing the rigidity a precision AR-15 build needs. It ships without sights, so it mounts cleanly to whatever optic setup you’re already running.
