Faxon manufactures all of their barrels in-house so that they know, from start to finish, everything that makes their .223 Wylde stainless fluted barrel is done the Faxon way.

Beauty and Performance

The unique look and amazing performance of Faxon’s FLAME Fluted .223 Wylde stainless barrel is born from the careful crafting of 416R stainless steel. You know the reputation for flexibility and accuracy of the .223 Wylde. Faxon pushes the performance envelope even further by adding revolutionary 5R rifling that cleans easily and improves bullet velocity because it doesn’t deform jacketed bullets as much as traditional rifling forms. The extension of Faxon’s barrel is NP3 coated with a nickel-Teflon coating that offers effective self-lubricity, resistance to corrosion and improves the fit between the receiver and extension.
