Can you shoot 556? Im confused with what wylde means.

yeah. 223 wylde is a chambering that lets you shoot .223 and 5.56

Will a FSB fit this barrel? To pin on of course. Manufacturer Answer

No, the pencil profile uses a 1.1" long gas block journal which will not support an FSB. You will need a barrel with a 1.9" long gas block journal. Our Gunner profile is also a lightweight profile that has a 1.9" long gas block journal: https://www.opticsplanet.com/faxon-firearms-223-wylde-gunner-rifle-barrel.html

Helpful Positive Review * * * Faxon Firearms .223 Wylde Pencil Rifle Barrel * * * by Jack Sparrow, August 8, 2020
XCLNT barrel ... very light weight ... Tighter groupings than mil-spec standard barrel .. I installed the FAXON Gas Block .625 .. The 2 set screw design is XCLNT install design - just a small drop of LOC-Tite on each screw - PERFECT!

Helpful Positive Review Awesome Barrel by N1C, Verified Owner, July 27, 2020
Just got this in for my first ar15 build. Its super light and seems to be well made. Be careful because the gas block journal is .625" and only about 1.1" long pretty much your only option will be low profile gas blocks. I plan to have a Franklin ...

Helpful Positive Review I HATE THIS BARREL by M, Verified Owner, January 14, 2022
Because I have now bought another after buying my first. I cannot describe how wonderfully accurate, light, well made, and overall nice these barrels are. If you're ever doing a RECCE build or something similar this is the way to go. This thing shave...
