Product Description
The FAXON FIREARMS Duty Series 16" HBAR AR-15 barrel is built for shooters who want a rigid, heat-managing profile with duty-grade durability. Machined in-house from certified 4150 CMV steel and finished with a black nitride treatment inside and out, this 5.56 NATO barrel delivers excellent corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. A mid-length gas system helps smooth cycling, while the button-rifled 1:8 twist and 11° target crown support consistent accuracy across a wide range of 5.56 loads. Each barrel is stress relieved, air-gauge tested, and magnetic particle inspected for dependable performance.

- HBAR (heavy barrel) contour improves stiffness, heat control, and long-string consistency
- Mid-length gas system for a smoother recoil impulse and reliable cycling in AR-15 builds
- Certified 4150 CMV steel construction for duty-ready longevity
- Black nitride finish (inside & out) for corrosion resistance and easier maintenance
