The Faxon Firearms Straight Fluted 22LR 16-inch Stainless Steel Barrel for 10/22 (brand part number 12B216N16FMQ-T) is a drop-in upgrade barrel built for the Ruger 10/22 platform. Machined in-house at Faxon Firearms‘ Cincinnati facility from raw 416R stainless bar stock, it carries the same rigorous testing and quality control Faxon applies to its AR and pistol barrels. The Straight Fluted profile trims weight compared to a factory 10/22 barrel while keeping a traditional, clean look on the rifle. A Recessed Target Crown protects the muzzle from dings that can affect accuracy, and every barrel is magnetic-particle inspected before receiving a durable Salt Bath Nitride finish. It is a straightforward way to add rimfire accuracy and a lighter feel to a 10/22 build.
