Faxon Firearms Rimfire Pencil Barrel .22 LR 16″ Salt Bath Nitride 416-R Stainless Barrel
Upgrading a .22 LR rimfire platform means finding a barrel that delivers accuracy without excess weight. This 16-inch pencil barrel from Faxon Firearms uses salt bath nitride treatment on 416-R stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. Shooters in Concord and across California rely on quality barrel components to maximize their platform's potential. Before any firearm modification, review California firearm laws to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Salt Bath Nitride and Stainless Steel Construction
The 416-R stainless steel substrate provides a reliable foundation for precision .22 LR shooting. Salt bath nitride hardening creates a protective surface layer that resists corrosion and extends barrel life under regular use. At 16 inches, this pencil profile keeps weight down while maintaining shot-to-shot consistency. The 1-in-16 twist rate stabilizes standard and subsonic .22 LR ammunition effectively. TacticCAL Gun Store stocks components for 10/22 platform builders who demand quality materials without compromise. Browse our gun store.
