For a plain Jane M4 upper it's hard to beat a BCM or LMT upper.

Any good quality upper will work and they are becoming easier to find.
What's wrong with the Colt match target?
Nothing. I would just like to have the option of a shorter setup

Damn - this sort of thing never happens to me...
As stated above, any quality M4 upper should work fine.
Just a thought (if it were me), unless you're wanting to maintain the ability to run both uppers off the match lower - I'd consider selling/trading the complete rifle towards buying/building a complete M4. Sucks to "handicap" a nice, short/light M4 rifle with that fixed A2 stock. You could probably end up in an M4 of your choosing, for very little cash outlay on your part.
Especially considering new, complete Colt 6920's hitting the $1100 price point lately.
Good 20" rifles seem to be in demand on the market, currently, as well...
But, if you're looking to maintain that flexibility with being able to run both uppers - it's a fair compromise.

Hold old is that Colt Target "20? Does it have a front takedown pin, or a fixed pivot pin?
What I'd likely do.
Get on Bravo Company's e-mail list and snag a BCM 16" upper (most likely a mid-length in my case) and swap out upper as I see fit.
Then over the next few months I'd either pick up a complete lower or start picking up parts to build a complete lower.
In the end I'd end up with two complete rifles. Doesn't that sound like a great plan?![]()
