I'm looking for a 9mm slick side flat top receiver that has been modified for the gas tube? Does anybody know of any vendors that would have these on  the shelf and ready to ship?

Thanks,
Rick

By slick side do you mean no forward assist and brass deflector?

If you are good with a brass deflector only. Les Baer and I believe either spikes or Bravo company.

Ranier sells one without the FWD assist but still has the brass deflector. I have been looking for a slick side upper for an ultralightweight build for a couple years now.

Check with Rainier Arms. I "think" they just started making such a critter.

eta: Rainier's does have the deflected but not the f/a.

I'd prefer one without the deflector, but I could live with it if I had to. Thanks for the tip I'll check those folks out.

That's a DPMS, it's made from a 6061 extrusion, so it's about twice as thick as a standard lower, and heavy.  Check with ADCO, they sell RRA 9mm uppers, they can drill it for the gas tube before they ship it to you.
