FAXON MATCH BBL 308WIN 18" H-FLUTED

Faxon Match Series AR10 Barrel Heavy Fluted 18 .308 Win (1:10 Twist Rifle Gas) - 416-R stainless steel -- 5R button rifled -- Salt bath nitride (QPQ) inside & out -- Heavy fluted profile -- Nickel Teflon coated extension -- MPI inspected -- Recessed 11° target crown -- Rifle-length gas -- .750 gas block journal -- 1.1 journal length -- 5/8x24 TPI - The Faxon Match Series Heavy Fluted 18 .308 Win AR10 barrel is designed for shooters who want a compact precision-forward .308 AR10 barrel with confident thermal performance and repeatable consistency. With rifle-length gas in an 18-inch format it's a great fit for practical precision builds that value smooth cycling and balanced handling. - Match Series barrels begin with 416-R stainless steel and 5R button rifling. 5R geometry is designed to reduce jacket deformation and support consistent performance while remaining easy to maintain. After rigorous testing the barrel receives salt bath nitride (QPQ) treatment inside and out to improve wear resistance corrosion protection and service life. - The heavy fluted profile increases surface area for heat management while preserving practical rigidity for repeatable precision. A Nickel Teflon coated DPMS/LR-308 compatible extension adds dry lubricity and corrosion resistance at the receiver interface. Finished with a recessed 11-degree target crown and MPI inspection this barrel is proudly American-made by a family-owned manufacturer in Greater Cincinnati Ohio. - Key Benefits - Match Series durability: QPQ nitride inside & out helps resist corrosion and wear. - Heavy fluting: Adds cooling surface area and trims weight while maintaining practical stiffness. - 5R rifling: Designed to reduce jacket deformation and support easier cleaning. - 416-R stainless steel: Excellent for precision barrels and consistent thermal behavior. - Nickel Teflon extension: Dry lubricity and corrosion resistance at the receiver interface. - Precision crown: Recessed 11° target crown helps protect accuracy at the muzzle. - Rifle-length gas: Smooth recoil impulse and tuning flexibility for 18 .308 AR10 builds. - Ideal Use Cases - Balanced AR10 builds: 18 length keeps handling lively while maintaining .308 capability. - Range training & target: Durable nitride finish supports higher round counts. - Field-capable precision: Heavy fluting balances rigidity with carry weight and heat control. - Suppressor-ready setups: 5/8x24 supports common .30-cal muzzle devices (verify alignment/mount specs). - Specifications - Platform / Series AR10 Match Series - Caliber .308 Win - Length 18 - Profile Heavy Fluted - Twist Rate 1:10 - Material 416-R Stainless Steel - Rifling 5R Button Rifled - Finish Salt Bath Nitride (QPQ)- inside & out - Gas System Rifle-length - Gas Block Diameter .750 - Gas Block Journal Length 1.1 - Muzzle Threads 5/8x24 TPI - Extension DPMS LR-308 Compatible- Nickel Teflon Coated - Crown Recessed 11° Target Crown - Inspection Magnetic Particle Inspected (MPI) - Weight 2.25 lbs
