Well, myself, I'm sort of interested in a Model 1 target upper for my Plum Crazy spare lower... E R Shaw makes good barrels and the upper is priced at $375
Check Karri's guns - upper for under $400. Karri's also has a barrel kit and upper that can be had for $300 (you put it together). You might want to check Palmetto State Armory, the equipment exchange on ar15.com and the rifles for sale on this site. Be patient - you can find a great deal on an upper if you look around.
According to the folks at AR15.com, Lewis Machine and Tool is the best. They are mil-contact and super expensive.
LMT also makes (on contact) M&A parts uppers. I picked up a mid-length for $300. Given the price & who makes them, I honestly don't know why those uppers aren't more popular. Maybe it's their crappy website.
Surplus ammo and arms has sub $500 uppers. I just got a 16" HBAR upper complete with bcg and charging handle for $420 plus tax and shipping. Runs great so far
There are FAR better uppers available in that price range. Palmetto is one. BCM is just above it, but for a few dollars more for a BCM, you will get a huge improvement in quality over DPMS
Del-Ton Inc. will sell you an upper from $400. They will sell you a "kit" with everything except a stripped lower for just under $500. They are a decent company to deal with as well.
Best, Dave
Make sure you are apples to apples when comparing uppers as some include bolts and some do not which explains the wide variance in prices. I recently ordered a model 1 in the russkie caliber.
Holy crap, do some more reading before you go with that thing for $439, when for the same price you can have something with that actually has an HPT/MPI bolt, HPT/MPI barrel, a 5.56mm chamber that is actually in-spec, and a properly-sized 0.63" gas port so it isn't terribly over-gassed, and that's just to start. Plus, are you sure you want an A2 upper?
If ur just wanting something cheap to shoot with less than a 3" moa then it really doesn't matter wat u get...anything mil spec will shoot under 3" moa...if u want under1" prolly gonna have to go match gradr
