Wow. I could fund a race engine selling my uppers at those prices.

An upper with UTG hand guard for $700+!

I would just get a barrel length you want and get a plastic hand guard until the crazy prices subside. For what you're looking to do with the riffle a 16" carbine is just fine. A Daniel Defense hammer forged chromed lined barrel use to go for $180 ... I'd wait if you can't find them for that or so. You really could just build your own upper. It's damn simple.

Anyhow if you have to buy an upper just go simple. You can always upgrade later when prices settle down.
