    Looking for a C7 type upper receiver (A1 with shell deflector)

    I'm turning my 6933 into a 733ish clone, so I'm trying to find a nice C7 type upper receiver for it. So far I've located a few:

    I'm waiting to hear back from them who makes this-

    Obviously DPMS isn't known for quality but it's possible they subcontract this to someone who actually knows what they're doing

    Any help with these or any other leads would be appreciated, thanks.

    It ends up Anchor Harvey makes them, no DPMS markings of any kind and reviews are generally good- so I ordered one off the link and then an A1 rear sight assembly off Midway. After I put it together I'll post an update.

    Also, you will need a port door assembly, CAR 6-hole handguards, and a CAR fiberlite stock as well. That should be about it. Model 1 Sales has fiberlite stocks. They are not Colt, but they work well. Colt fiberlite stocks can be found , but they will be a little pricey.

    I've got everything else, except the stock but I think I know where there's a spare. If not I'll pick up a Model 1...
