Faxon Firearms Match Series .308 WIN 18" Heavy Fluted Barrel - Salt Bath Nitride

The Faxon Firearms Match Series .308 WIN barrel is built for precision AR-10 shooters who want top-tier accuracy from a heavy-profile stainless blank. This 18" heavy fluted barrel is machined from 416-R stainless steel and button rifled with the Match Series' signature 5R rifling, a configuration designed to reduce bullet deformation, retain velocity, and make cleaning easier than conventional rifling.

The 1:10" twist stabilizes a wide range of .308 WIN bullet weights, from lighter varmint and target projectiles up through heavy match and hunting bullets. A salt bath nitride (QPQ) finish hardens the surface for excellent wear and corrosion resistance, while the recessed 11-degree target crown protects the lands from damage and promotes consistent bullet departure. The extension is coated in Nickel Teflon (NP3) for smooth, reliable cycling and long service life.

The heavy fluted profile trims weight where it counts without sacrificing the stiffness that precision shooters demand, making this barrel an excellent foundation for an AR-10 rifle-length gas-system build, whether your goal is a DMR, a hunting rifle, or simply upgrading an existing platform.
