The Faxon Firearms 6.5 Creedmoor Heavy Fluted Barrel is manufactured from triple stress-relieved 416R stainless steel with straight flutes machined into the exterior surface. Fluting reduces weight while actually adding to the stiffness of the barrel and providing enhanced cooling properties to resist distortion of the barrel as it heats up. This 24-inch barrel delivers the performance characteristics required for precision long-range shooting in the AR-10 platform.
Each 6.5 Creedmoor Heavy Fluted Barrel is button rifled with a 5R pattern and 1-8″ twist to impart excellent stability to the 6.5 Creedmoor bullet; makes cleaning easier, too. Unlike traditional rifling, 5R rifling has lands offset over grooves, meaning the bullet is not distorted as if travels down the barrel. Barrel specifications include a 416-R material, 5R Button Rifled type, 24″ length, Heavy Fluted profile, Rifle gas system, Salt Bath Nitride finish inside and out, 5/8-24 TPI muzzle thread, .750″ gas block diameter, 1.1″ gas block journal length, DPMS LR-308 compatible barrel extension with Nickel Teflon coating, 2.85lbs weight, and Magnetic Particle Inspection.
Each 6.5 Creedmoor Heavy Fluted Barrel is put through a battery of tests, including Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) to ensure the barrel you install on your rifle is free of hidden flaws that could compromise accuracy or service life. The barrel features a polished 11-degree target crown. Built for shooters who demand match-grade precision, this Faxon barrel combines superior engineering with proven reliability across demanding shooting conditions.
