Check out a Black Hole Weaponry barrel.  I've built 3 AR's with them and they are nice and solid.  If you want a heavy barrel one of these will fit the bill.  Surplus Ammo usually has them for about that price with a stripped upper thrown in.  When I shoot my Carbon I can feel the heat radiating off the barrel.  The ones I've built with the BHW barrel barely feel warm.  It is surprising what a difference barrel mass makes on the way the barrel absorbs and reflects heat.

Use this search tool... I have already done the work and typed in 10.5 for you.
Check out the list of barrels in stock all over

Its a really great tool for comparing prices.
Good luck

Rainier Arms Select stainless I found using that search tool. I have 2 rainier barrels. A 7.5 match and a 12.5 ultra match. Very good product and Rainier arms will stand behind it always.

So far I've been very happy with my Aero Precision 10.5 barrel. Just thought I'd include that.  Been very satisfied with my pistol build using a majority of Aero items, lower, upper, bcg, lpk and barrel.

Same here, both of my pistol builds use Aero Precision barrels and both work flawlessly.

I have the 10.5" Rainier Select barrel. It's been great so far.

Hindsight, I would have looked for something not stainless + chrome lined. Maybe CHF as well.

Those are OOS but I just bought one of their Melonited barrels last night. Shipped today. Hoping it is a good quality barrel. Can't beat the price or shipping time.

I took the 16" Rock Creek match barrel that came with my upper and had Adco chop it.

Black Hole Weaponry all the way. Parabolic rifling, easier to clean, increased velocity.  Did I say easier to clean!

Just ordered a 10.5 from Aero Precision.  As an FYI, they're having a site wide 12% superbowl sale right now.  I think it dropped the barrel (with pinned FSB) down to $191'ish with free shipping.
