Are there any available on the market ?
One has been on Gunbroker for awhile but he wants $3100.
Not going to go there.

Also a replica kit on GB but a real one would be nice.

Originals of course are not made any more, and all the New-Old Stock stuff is in private hands, either being used or tucked into retirement stashes.

You can post WTB ads everywhere and maybe get someone to nibble and cough up a set, but their prices may be too close to the $3100 for your comfort.

Unless you get crazy lucky at a swap meet or the like, a repro set is probably where you'll end up.

Was at the Big E gun show last year and a "seller" had Colt DOE complete upper for sale who had a tag of $800.00, I offered $750 and he snapped it right out of my hand. I have that and another 11.5" 9mm upper now just laying in the safe. I have my Shrike upper on my Colt M-16A1 for a while now. No rush to sell but get out to those gun shows, you just never know when one might show up. I was not even looking for one.

Good Luck!

Check the retro forum for sources on replica parts.

Check the EE. I found a Colt 635 9mm upper for a decent price on the EE back in the spring.

A friend of mine just purchased a real DOE upper for $1,700.  

I wanted one but did not want to spend big bucks so I opted for a repro.  I ended up getting one from LieMohn Mfg. ( www.LiemohnMFG.com ) I went with the treaded barrel version so I can use my 9mm suppressor with it.  I got a used CMMG 9mm ramped bolt, Hahn top load mag block and a ST-9X buffer for a good price off the EE so the whole project end up at about $800.  I took it out to the range and ran three 32 round Metalform mags from CDNN through it and it didn't miss a beat.

As sacrilegious as it may sound, I would LOVE to build a QC10 Glock lower with a DOE top and a sig brace.  Anyone want to buy an FAL?  Only thing I can think of at the moment I can ditch to scrounge up cash for this sucker!  Haha!  Seriously though, how neat would one of these suckers be??
