Faxon MATCH 20″ .223 Wylde 1:8 Heavy Fluted Barrel

It is chambered in .223 Wylde and features 5R rifling with a 1:8 rate of twist to support a wide range of match and service projectiles. The bore and exterior receive a nitride treatment for enhanced wear resistance, and the barrel uses a nickel Teflon coated extension to improve corrosion resistance and fit. The barrel is button-rifled, fluted in a heavy contour, and configured with a rifle-length gas port and 1/2-28 muzzle threads.
