Hey guys. I was a very regular member around these parts a few years ago. I have since sold my AR's (not by choice) and am wanting to get back into the game. I am probably going to pick up a stripped lower in the next few days to start a build on. I will then add an LPK and probably a Vltor stock. My question is.... at this time where the best deals for good Quality assembled uppers? I would be wanting something in a M4 bbl with a flat top upper. Either 16' or 14.5" bbl. I would prefer 1/7, but 1/9 would be okay as well and a chrome lined bbl is a must. Where should I be looking? Thanks.

Now's a good time for complete uppers- a few off the top of my head:
Bravo Company- BCM uppers are great- very high quality; they also sell LMT and Noveske uppers; ? maybe Daniel Defense also.
Spike's Tactical- very high quality; their stripped lower receivers are also top notch, and probably about the lowest price out there.
Daniel Defense- some good deals currently- very high quality.
Colt- I don't know where to get Colt uppers by themselves, maybe someone else will.
Noveske- very high quality as well, especially the barrels.
PK Firearms- look there- they have some uppers built around Sabre Defence barrels- Sabre barrels are very high quality and durable- they make barrels for machine guns for the US Military, and also are now a Govt. contractor for the M16 rifle. They also have uppers based on Daniel Defense barrels.  

Others will have suggestions, I'm sure.
ETA: if you don't already know about 16 inch uppers with mid-length gas systems, take a while to learn about them. They are worth a good hard look.

If you buy a complete lower and complete upper from them separately, you can get that same rifle from them at about $100 less with the sales they're running right now. Minus the carry handle, but you could take that $100 and buy whatever BUIS you want.

Thanks guys. I know of Spikes. They are pretty local to me and I was planning on getting the lower from them. I guess I may just look to them for the upper as well.

But the complete rifle also comes with a P-Mag and a good quality soft case, along with the carry handle, for that 100$ difference.
