Faxon Firearms Rimfire 22 LR 16" 1:16 Straight Fluted 10/22 Barrel - Salt Bath Nitride

The Faxon Firearms Rimfire barrel brings Faxon's signature rifle-grade manufacturing to the Ruger 10/22 rimfire platform. Cut from 416-R stainless steel for excellent dimensional consistency and corrosion resistance, this 22 LR drop-in replacement barrel measures 16" overall and is finished in Salt Bath Nitride for added surface hardness and a clean, dark appearance.

The Straight Fluted profile reduces weight forward of the receiver for a noticeably faster, more balanced feel, while the bore is cut with 6-groove rifling at a 1:16 twist that pairs well with standard-velocity and high-velocity 22 LR ammunition. The muzzle is finished with a Recessed Target Crown to protect the rifling and promote uniform projectile release, and every barrel is Magnetic Particle Inspected to verify material integrity before it ships.

Designed as a direct fit for the factory 10/22 action, this Rimfire Plinker Series barrel is a straightforward upgrade for plinking, small-game hunting and casual rimfire practice. It is threaded at the muzzle for compatibility with common 10/22 muzzle accessories, giving shooters a lighter, quicker-handling rifle without sacrificing the accuracy and reliability Faxon is known for.
