I am hoping the uppers are in good enough shape that some Birchwood Casey will clean it up.

For those that want all new parts, there is this complete upper in stock now at RTG Parts, but it's not cheap, will cost you $799 plus S&H. It does however include the bolt and BCG.

Not if you pin and weld them. They need a brake anyways.You know it's too bad we have to register these as SBR's because a 14.5" barrel is really a nice rig. OTOH - at least these are be treated in a different category which may have it's advantages in the almost certain ban attempts. Or it may not matter. Regardless I just like a 14.5" barrel better than a 16".

You make a great point about the brake; esp. if it is also an adapter for your can
No he does not. Brakes suck! Espically on SB AR platform guns. At least being next to a 50BMG is worth the blast and noise. My 11.5" and 14.5" uppers run just fine in FA with Flash hiders. Flash hiders don't hurt everyone elses head around you.
FYI, I give all the people in the MG club crap if they show up with M16s with brakes. I don't mind flying hot streams of brass, 100round strings, 50 BMG in semi shot fast... pretty much anything. However having a poodle shooter with a 11.5" barrel and a MB just sucks with little reward for the headache. I run Flash hiders on all my guns and its just fine... The gun does not have recoil, so what recoil are you minimizing? If you just want to make it fun, then a Flash Enhancer at least is cool! https://www.keepshooting.com/ar15-m16-flash-enhancer.html Muzzle brakes and short barrels are great for people who don't have friends or like shooting with others.
Sorry for the interlude. Not my intention.If it has threads for a Rugged can then it's ok by me
No interest in the pre-order from Brownells for $630?
