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.

barrels are difficult to recommend.
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.

I had no problems going with all Aero, I think they use BA barrels?
 
so, I do have and like those Arkens, and i think at this price there it nothing at all on the market comparable to it.
EP5 at $450 is worth getting for sure. As of new EPL4 - no clue.
as of SH4 at $290 - it is very cheap for that quality of a glass. but EP5 is better. I would still get EP5 instead, and i do have now 2 EP5s and 1 SH4.

the absence of a removable toolhead design, well, at a price comparable to dillon - nope.

I'm thinking it would make a good permanent 223 prep system, wonder if the case would rise enough for the Dillion RT1500 in that toolhead?
Also need to find if it as any swaging capabilities
 
Tremendous deals on swfa scopes. I picked up their 1-4x24 and despite not typically digging lpvo’s this one is a winner.

SWFA 1-4x24 SS 30mm Riflescope

SWFA 1-4x24 SS 30mm Riflescope Details SKU: SS14X24IR Finish: Matte Reticle: Illuminated MIL-Quad DM (Red) Tube Diameter (mm): 30 Elevation Knob: Exposed Short Target (.1 MIL) Windage Knob: Exposed Short Target (.1 MIL) Parallax Setting: Fixed Focus Focal Plane: Second
www.swfa.com www.swfa.com

their straight power SS line are on sale for $220. These optics walk all over the mid tier vortex glass that folks think is great buts actually pretty lackluster.

Yes.
The magazine holders are outstanding!
It holds the magazine securely for every day carry, yet easily allows the magazine to be withdrawn when it is time for a reload.
My needs require that the magazine holder can be taken off quickly without taking my belt off.
The belt clip keeps the holder securely on my belt, yet allows me to take it off quickly when I need to.
I've had two of these mag holders for several years now, wear them daily, and would gladly buy them again if (if) they ever wear out, but they show no sign of doing so.
They were very receptive to my request that the magazine (G19) fit the mag holder so that there were two rows of witness holes showing.
Replies after messaging them on Amazon were very quick.
They sent me pictures of the completed items before paying to ensure they were exactly what I wanted.
Highly recommended!

so, i was concerned about getting a barrel from that armorally sale and it did not disappoint.
not sure now if i should just return it right away or still give it a try. may be will give it a try.
dunno what they did to this faxon, it does not have some obvious marks to be used or shot before, like the gas port area has no scratches, but it is difficult to say, and it could have been refinished. but i think it was just stored in shitty conditions.
can't take a decent bore picture but it still has some shit inside that is most likely rust. lands seem to be intact, so, i`m torn really, did not expect something like this.

I ordered from a different site.

As far as stocks, I might pick a minimalist stock.

I would send that shit back. That's not acceptable.
Not if it was represented as new
