Faxon Firearms Match Series AR15 Barrel .223 Wylde 1:8 Twist 416R, 5R Rifling, Nitride, Nickel Teflon Extension - 18" Gunner Profile Mid Length

Just what is the Gunner profile? The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best performing profiles of all time, Gov't and Pencil. Proving that every once and awhile, the Government can do something right, the Gunner's profile from the extension to the gas block mimics that well-known taper. From there, innovation takes over and the Gunner moves to a .625" gas block journal and our famed pencil profile out front. Removing the weight from the front of the barrel ensures maximum versatility and keeps material to the rear to maximize heat resistance and mitigate whip. Faxon's MATCH SERIES of barrels takes our renowned performance and value up a notch. The extension is coated in Nickel Teflon which maintains incredible dry lubricity, corrosion resistance, and with the coating, tightens up fit between the extension and receiver - again improving upon accuracy. Combined, the Match Series of barrels are ready for when duty calls or the buzzer beeps with unrivaled performance value.
