In the world of firearms, few calibers hold as much universal appeal as the .22 Long Rifle. Since its inception in the 19th century, this round has become a steadfast companion for both novices and seasoned marksmen. Faxon Firearms recognizes this legacy and brings their expertise to bear with their new line of rimfire barrels.
Faxon's Rimfire Barrels are crafted with precision from 416-R stainless steel at their Cincinnati facility, ensuring durability and reliability that shooters have come to expect from this trusted brand. Each barrel is meticulously fashioned from raw bar stock and undergoes stringent testing protocols akin to those applied to Faxon's renowned AR and pistol barrels.
The design features 6 Groove Rifling with a 1:16 twist rate, optimizing accuracy while maintaining ease of handling—a crucial factor for any shooter looking to improve performance on the range or in the field. The Recessed Target Crown further enhances precision by protecting rifling at the muzzle end.
Every barrel is subjected to Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), a testament to Faxon's commitment to quality control. These barrels are available in either Salt Bath Nitride or PVD finishes, offering robust protection against wear while adding an attractive aesthetic touch.
A noteworthy advantage of these rimfire barrels is their weight-saving design compared to typical factory options for popular platforms like the Ruger 10/22. This makes them ideal not only for enhancing shooting pleasure but also for creating lasting memories across generations—truly embodying Faxon’s belief that firearms bring people together.
