Does anyone make A1 uppers without the forward assist?

What you are looking for is a 604 upper.

If you are not in a hurry NoDak Spuds does, but they have quite the waiting list. If you don't mind spending a bit more keep and eye out in the EE and on Gunbroker, you should be able to find what you want.

No, there are no A1 uppers without forward assist, because the forward assist is one of the things which make an upper an "A1 upper".

However, there are plenty of pre-A1 style uppers without a forward assist. An upper with "field sights" that lacks forward assist is usually referred to as a "slick upper".

No such thing

Fulton might still make some? Otherwise a WTB ad might find you one

Excuse my ignorance. I was referring to a 604 upper like the other poster said.

Now I realize I was wasting my time the last two years looking for a 604 with the forward assist.

At the moment Fulton does not. Other  than for their legacy uppers, that is. Guy I spoke with a few weeks ago said they may start selling them again late this year or early next. Might be worth calling if others want some, if only to show there is some interest in them.

bookertbab, I'd highly recommend the NDS 604 upper. The NDS may be blemished  (my two are), more expensive, but correct finish and well worth the wait. I do have a Fulton Armory  slick side blemished upper I picked up this summer at Camp Perry during the National Matches for $35. It was black with many cosmetic blems. But the fit for sights, ejection port cover, charging handle, BCG, barrel nut and lower was just about perfect for what it's worth.
