Does anybody make a A3 Flat Top Style upper without forward assist? I've seen the heavy wall uppers without it, the type without the port cover. I believe the Valtor & VM left side charge handle uppers don't have it. Also the early SP1 uppers with the carry handle.....I looking for a traditional looking A3 flat top without a Forward assist. I've never had to use the forward assist and thought I might try a build without it, but I still want the Flat Top. Anybody seen something like this? Link? Maybe a billet machined version? Thanx K2 |

TangoChaser! Good to hear from you, Still working in the big sand box? Coming home soon? We NEED more AR45 goodies! Thanx guys for the quick feed back! I like the Les Baer upper, that’s exactly what I was looking for. I think I may also try and convert a RR 9mm with the gas tube hole as you’ve mentioned, just to see if I like not having the brass deflector as well as no FA. I took a look at the DPMS link and don’t like the high riser flat top, they also make a low riser but they both don’t have the dust cover I was hoping for. I then checked the DPMS web page and found something interesting. They call it a Triple Rail Upper Receiver http://www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=1783 Not sure if you would really want to put something on the side rails of the receiver, seems anything you put there (light, laser) would be set way back or partially blocked by your hand or barrel. Anybody use one of these Triple Rail Receivers??? Pics??? I’m curious to see how to set one up functionally! Thanx K2 |

I agree... I've seen that triple rail receiver and wondered about its usefulness as well. Seems like anything you would put on the side rails would interfere with either ejection, or the bolt catch... I'm honestly starting to hate the sight of piccatinny rails... lol Too many companies are putting them all over everything in order to make their stuff look more "tactical" and its getting tiresome... With that said, make no mistake. I LOVE DPMS products! I just think that upper was WAAAY over the top! |
Lot of luck, I've ordered SEVERAL from RRA and that was several months ago. I'm going to mill them for a gas tube and offer them for $165. The only problem..................I don't have the RRA receivers yet. PursuitSS |

Who else makes 9mm uppers?.........that are available! PursuitSS >>>Lot of luck, I've ordered SEVERAL from RRA and that was several months ago. I'm going to mill them for a gas tube and offer them for $165. The only problem..................I don't have the RRA receivers yet. PursuitSS<<< |
NO ONE that is MINUS the forward assist and brass deflector! As mentioned Les Baer offers a flat top without a forward assist, but it does have the brass deflector. PursuitSS |
Anybody know what the Garrison A3 9mm upper looks like? No pics on there web page. |
Les Baer delivery 6 weeks & RRA delivery 12 weeks.....good thing I'm NOT in a hurry! The demand is obviously there, how hard can it be to keep product in stock????? K2 |
I hope that is just for orders placed NOW! They quoted 12 weeks 14 weeks ago! PursuitSS |
WOW, I must have Good Karma.....Just recevied TWO RR 9mm uppers in less than 10 days!!!! Still waiting for Les Baer order. K2 |
You will also have to mill the cam pin relief cut. |
Sun Devil Mfg makes a billet upper w/o a forward assist or brass deflector. |
I just received a partial shipment, the cam pin relief is already cut out. Now all I have to do is machine out the carrier key relief and the gas tube hole and X. PursuitSS |
Keyhole = Cerro Forge Those 9mm uppers sure look nice. I'm thinking about swapping my varmint upper out for one after looking at this thread.
