What A1 uppers are you guys using and where are you getting them from?

Neither of mine are A1 uppers, they are slick side (no forward assist or brass deflector), I think these are vietnam era based on pictures.
I got one of mine about 6 years at a gun show in new condition. The other I got with a complete upper I bought at a different gunshow. Lemme see if I can get a pic and post it.

Marc,
I snagged mine off the EE, it is a Bushmaster. The one Josh-L posted in hsi "Match A1"thread, I think he said it was a DMPS that he sent off to have feed ramps put into. I do see Colt uppers come up on the EE, although they go fast and for a higher price. If you don't want the shell deflector, some true A1 uppers show up on the EE pretty often, in varying condition. I wanted the shell deflector because of left-handed friends and who knows if my kids might turn out to be left handed or not...

Here's the one I was talking about.
Not sure who makes it, I have not located any markings.

That's cool Glockster, it's even got the old-school charging handle.
You should do some research on it, depending on your needs it may be worth selling, the retro stuff is popular these days and that may be valuable to someone building a period-correct retro rifle.

Yeah, I thought about that. I actually have two of these uppers, one used, one not used.
The used one I have assembled to a 14.5 Colt M4 profile barrel, and I am waiting for a SureFire M500 flashlight/handguard setup to arrive and I will install it there. I can't wait.
That will make a total of 3 complete uppers for my one lower.

Here it is all assembled.
Old School slab side Colt upper, with Colt M-4 barrel. Now sporting the Old-School Surefire M500.
This is my back-up/home defense setup for right now. At least until I settle on a light system for my other upper!
Hope you like!
