Are these barrels ok for sale to Maryland?

Expert Answer

Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 18, 2020

These are just barrels and you would need to verify that they are legal for you to own in your town/city. I would recommend checking your local laws and regulations regarding these parts.

Is this barrel considered a "match grade" barrel?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 28, 2022

Yes. The Faxon Firearms .223 Wylde Heavy Fluted Rifle Barrel is part of Faxons Match Series of barrels. The Match Series starts with 416-R in 5R rifling. 5R is a hybrid rifling, with lands opposite grooves and reduced sharp angles that reduces jacket deformation increasing velocity and easy cleaning. Chambered in .223 Wylde, a hybrid chamber that the 5R rifling takes full advantage of. Better accuracy through less bullet jump, but fully and individually MPI tested for your safety. After rigorous testing, the barrels are Nitride treated inside and out, locking in the bore, improving barrel life, and keeping the elements at bay.
