Wondering if anyone has experience with a 10.5 inch AR 10? It appears that 10.5 inches of barrel is not great for .308, but wondering if anyone has one or has shot one and what they think.

No experience but I bet it will make a fireball the size of a Volkswagen.
Based on my research (which may possibly be incomplete/inaccurate) anything shorter than a 12.5" barreled .308 didn't make much sense ballistically, and all around better/cheaper options would be available in an AR15 frame...
I used to have a 13.7" AR10 (w/ pinned brake) which was really nice and shot well, and was planning to build a 12.5" .308 and welding a F1 reflex can on the end of it, but have decided to pass on that build for now...
The 12.5" should be more solid from a velocity perspective, and have better barrel harmonics and be every bit as accurate as something longer (prior to transsonic velocity threshold which will be hit sooner ala reduced MV, hence a reduced effective range)...
Not exactly what the OP referenced, but hopefully at least a little helpful...

Hybrid flame thrower/pistol combo?
I say go for it.
