The Faxon Firearms Rimfire barrel (Faxon part number 12B216N16LMQT) brings the brand’s AR-pattern barrel manufacturing to the Ruger 10/22, machined in-house at Faxon’s Cincinnati facility from raw 416-R stainless steel bar stock. It carries the same rigorous testing as Faxon’s AR and pistol barrels, including magnetic particle inspection, and is finished in salt bath nitride for corrosion resistance. This 16-inch barrel uses Faxon’s patented Flame Fluted profile, one of three AR-inspired profiles adapted to rimfire, shaving weight off a typical factory 10/22 barrel.
