barrels are difficult to recommend.I ordered all this.
Want to build a nice hunting AR 10.
What handguard, stock and barrel recommendations does NES have?
Not looking for sh*t. Want light and useful. Doesn't need to have 7' of rails, but also don't want some tiny lame rail and wish I had more.
Barrels, looking for something good that is good for hunting, but don't want a very light barrel.
after some doubts i got one more order in, to get all except of handguard on this sale - and for barrel i decided to get a "Faxon 6.5 Creedmoor 16" Big Gunner 5R Match Series Barrel (#10BC8M16NGQ-5R-NP3)" - they had it for $207, and $10 off - gets it to a decent low price. some like those big gunners, some do not. it begins as a heavy profile base, then ends with a pencil style end, and it`s quite light. i gonna stick to gay 6.5CM, it just did not look too attractive to me now to venture into a next caliber.
should have gotten an 18" probably, but - as i already have 2 6.5CM guns - bergara and 20" heavy profile AR10 - this will be a light one, well, as light as the lower will let it be.
for handguard i also want something extremely light, probably in 12", all good stuff was already sold out at this sale.
an another good thing they have now - they have this brake: "VG6 EPSILON 65 (#APVG100033A)" - for $52. it is not bad, almost 50% off.
