The Faxon Firearms 10/22 .22 LR Straight Fluted Nitride Barrel (brand part number 12B216N16FHQ-T) is a 16-inch drop-in replacement machined from 416-R stainless steel for the Ruger 10/22 platform. Faxon cuts a 6-groove rifling pattern at a 1:16 twist rate and finishes each barrel with a recessed target crown to protect accuracy at the muzzle. Every barrel is Magnetic Particle Inspected for internal defects before it leaves the shop, then finished in a durable salt bath nitride coating. The straight-fluted profile trims weight over a bull barrel while still adding the stiffness and heat dissipation fluting is known for.
