No "Mil-Spec" for the AR-10. 2 major designs, Armalite and DPMS. DPMS is the current front runner.
Eabco.com sells Ballistic Advantage barrels. Aero Precision bought BA in 2014. https://www.eabco.net This is where I would look for ideas about barrel construction.
An AR-10 for hunting is going to be heavy.
My Aero M5E build with Magpul PRS stock, LaRue Mount, and Ziess HD5 5-25×50, heavy profile barrel eabco #194-BABL65CR04P weighs about 13 pounds. I did build this as a heavy, would not want to lug it around unless getting off a horse or drove in. Pencil weight barrel and polymer lower, carbon handguard to keep weight down if ever a future build.

I would like a pencil weight, carbon wrapped barrel with a 1&7.5 rh twist. 20-24 inches, rifle length gas, gas port sized correctly for barrel and gas length. standard DPMS .308 bolt will work. I have only shot factory Hornady Precision 143ELDX
then started handloading, so not sure about other brands loaded specs.
Not sure about the reamer.
