Faxon Match Series 16" .223 Wylde Gunner Barreled Upper (FX-URG-M223W16GA15-BU)
Start your AR-15 build with precision and versatility using the Faxon Match Series 16" .223 Wylde Gunner Barreled Upper—a factory-assembled barreled upper assembly engineered for shooters seeking enhanced accuracy, reliable function, and practical handling without the need for a full custom upper. This barreled upper includes the barrel, enhanced forged AR15 upper receiver, fixed low-profile gas block, mid-length stainless gas tube, 15" M-LOK handguard, and MuzzLok® ported flash hider—ideal for general-purpose rifles, range use, training, predator/varmint setups, or as a strong foundation for further customization (requires BCG, charging handle, and lower to complete).
Centered on a Match Series 16" Gunner-profile .223 Wylde barrel (mid-length gas, 416R stainless steel, 5R rifling, recessed 11-degree target crown, nitride finish), paired with Faxon's enhanced forged AR15 upper receiver and modified feed ramps for smooth cycling. The fixed .625" low-profile gas block and mid-length stainless gas tube provide consistent performance, while the 15" Streamline M-LOK handguard offers modern accessory mounting and a full-length grip surface. This upper is suppressor-capable (though not factory suppressor-tuned) and backed by Faxon's lifetime warranty and Ohio-based manufacturing heritage.
