AR complete upper in 204 where to buy ?

I have a RRA upper that I set up to shoot local Precision Rifle matches with. Didn't want to spend a bundle of money to see if I liked the long range game or not and had several AR's. With the right loads it's a tack driver. I also had a White Oak "Service Rifle" upper back in the day when I shot NRA Highpower competition. You can't go wrong with either of those in my opinion.
I've used apf armory, just shooting a friends wasn't shooting for accuracy. A lot of people I know use them for prairie dogs, they don't have any complaints. Their local to me so I picked up my blackout barrel this fall from them. I'm not sure who makes their barrels but I was happy with the accuracy I got from their 10.5
Not sure of the price of just an upper but for a while you could get the LMT MRP rifles and uppers and they offered a 204 barrel.
I have the 5.56 and 6.8SPC barrels. Two minutes and a small torque wrench and you can swap barrels (calibers, lengths, piston/DI). Monolithic upper (receiver and rail system machined from one piece billet).
Just throwing it out there, I wanted a 204 barrel but never got around to getting one. Will probably get a 300 barrel first.
Just looked, they don't offer a standard 204 upper but looking thru the parts pages I came up with this for right at $1k. Hard to go wrong with this (not the lightest, but should be a good shooter).
$449 for a blowout OD green MRP upper:

$679 for 20" stainless 204 barrel.
might not be the prettiest setup, but usually the LMT setups are solid. Never had any issues with mine (after I corrected the SPC chamber).

CQB UPPER OD GREEN - LMT
Contract over-runs from a South American agency. These uppers are anodized a shade of what we call “Canteen Green.” Due to the nature of anodizing colors, there are slight variations in the shade throughout the upper and lower adding to the unique nature of the weapon. This is the last time...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, keep them coming.
For anyone else interested, I have found that 9&10 twist barrels do better with the 39-40 g bullets than the common 12 twists.

Going to revive this thread again. I haven’t found many options and most are 4-6 mo out or discontinued.
