I bought a used Colt Target Match 20 barrel (and will post a pick when I get chance) and I'm thinking of changing the upper reciever.  It currently has the fixed carry handle upper and I really wanted a flat top upper, but so hard to find in my area and not waiting till like April.
So any recommendations on manufacturers and where to shop?
Thanks in advance

Uppers of any kind are kind of scarce now. Specialized Armament Warehouse sells the Colt flattop receiver but it's kinda pricey at $275

Jesus!  Your right.  I checked out Rainer Arms website last week they had a few options left.  NOW everything is out of stock.

Bravo Company has some.  The only ones i could find with M4 ramps still in stock.  They are USGI Contract ones.  Not sure how good they are but i needed one.

I don't NEED it but it would have been nice to have my gun look the way I wanted right away.   I think I'll wait till things cool down.
At some point down the road I would like to mount an optic on top, when I've got more diposable cash.

Can't be 100% sure, but I'm 99% sure they are CMT.

FYI, I purchased one a couple of weeks ago and it is a perfect match with my Stag lower (made by CMT).

Thanks man... i was kinda getting worried... but i needed an upper.  I sure hope its a CMT but if not it's all good just glad i got an upper.
