Mine reads .556 NATO on the barrel is this normal? I ordered the 223 Wylde match barrel 18". Manufacturer Answer

Our match series barrels should be marked .223 Wylde instead of 5.56NATO. Please send us a message at Customerservice@faxonfirearms.com (with photos of the barrel engraving and packaging if possible) and we can help you out!

Helpful Positive Review Amazingly Light and Accurate by Scrap, Verified Owner, August 2, 2023

Helpful Positive Review Very accurate and well made by aerowill, Verified Owner, August 13, 2020
My barrel is an 18" Match Series with a "Gunner" profile. It's light, accurate and all dimensions (gas port, extension, etc.) are exactly right. I did a quick break-in and I was off and shooting 1" groups at 100 yards with hand loaded ammo. Not su...
