Early versions had the gas tube hole but current versions do not. Garrison Manufacturing sells the same slick side flat top upper receiver but it does not have the laser engraved logo like the RRA version does. Just something to consider.

Do the Garrison uppers have a hole for the tube? |

No. I think they either buy the UR from the same source as RRA or from RRA.

Nope no hole. I wanted to do the same thing.

wow, I didnt expect this to be that difficult to find.... anyone else have any ideas otherwise I am going to go with the dpms (below) but it does not seem like a good choice for a lightweight, but i still dont know how heave one is

Les Baer makes a flat-top upper without forward assist, but it does have a brass deflector. Don't know if that would be satisfactory or not.

That dpms lo-pro upper is a bit higher than a normal flat top. Les Baer's flat top w/o the fa
seems better, just that it has the brass deflector on it as mentioned above. It's also lighter than the dpms. |

So just machine off the brass deflector. |

Isn't there something else that needs to be cut as well? I think it was a cutout above the bolt carrier. ETA: I just remembered, it's the cutout for the cam pin to rotate. |

Negative. That area is already machined. No mods needed accept the gas tube hole. Check this thread about half way down page 1 for pictures of the RRA 9mm upper receiver. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=381198 |

Thanks. ETA: Nevermind, I read the rest of that thread. Where did that misinformation come from anyway? Still, thanks for clearing that up. |

Another member made that assumption and posted it as fact.
