Is there a big difference between these two companies A1 Uppers?  The Fulton is about $15 more.  What are the pros and cons of each?  Is there any other company I should look at?  Thanks in advance.

From what I've heard they may be the same uppers, Fulton buys them from DPMS or something.

I believe Fulton is the only ones offering a slabside M16 style upper receiver.  I bought one for a project from them, it worked out very well.

I’m very happy with the A1 style upper I purchased from Bushmaster. Only draw back is I wasn’t looking for an upper with brass deflector, no one else had what I wanted in stock. You might check with Del-Ton.

Yea, if I remember correctly I think I suggested Del-Ton to you as well. Too bad they stopped selling those uppers.

Thanks for the help guys.  I wasn't really wanting the forward assist or the brass deflector.  So I guess I pretty well made my own mind of then, didn't I?  

So, Fulton comes highly recommended?  Thanks again.

Brownells has a slick-sided A1 upper. Mine just came in today for my retro build.
