Faxon 223 Wilde Heavy Fluted Rifle Barrel

Written on Apr 03, 2021

I purchased this Faxon Barrel from Opticsplanet and received it in 4 days. I put the barrel on one of my first ar 15s a Ruger 556 and was amazed by the accuracy I have gotten out of it. I have tried 5 different loads through it. My best two five shot groups came from Hornady 55 gr vmax which was .61 and Barnes 556 70 gr ttsx .88. It even shot the “range” ammo well I got a 1 5/8 inch group out of Remington 55 gr fmj bucket of bullets ammo. I shot 20 rounds in about 15 seconds and grabbed the exposed part of the barrel and it seemed to me that the heavy flute on the barrel does a great job with barrel heating. The mid length gas system is noticeable smoother than carbine length. My only regret is that I wish I had purchased the 18 inch barrel instead of the 16 inch barrel. I definitely recommend this barrel!!!!
