Pardon my ignorance guys and gals, but I'm still very new to the AR community and I've got an FNG question.  I have a Colt LE 6920 carbine that I love, but I'm dying to get an upper reciever to make it look like an old CAR 15 for fun at the range.  Bushmaster is the only company I can find that sells the CAR 15 upper with an 11.5 inch barrel with a pinned 5.5 inch flashhider.  Do any other companies make these uppers?  

Can I use my Colt lower, charging handle, and bolt carrier without any reliability problems with this upper?  What should I be looking for in price and where is the best place to run across one of these?

Thanks for the help.

Combat Jack, I'm definitely keeping my LEO upper for work and serious use.  I just wanted the CAR 15 upper for grins and giggles.
