That is why I go with Med length uppers...
M16's are assembled by National Guard Members without any gunsmith training. They put the barrel in, try a go gauge, no go gauge, test fire, send it back out. The rifle is modular by design, it is not as hard to assemble an upper as some make it out to be. If anyone is looking, Midway had DPMS uppers in stock with BCG and CH for around $375 for non dealer pricing a few days a go, may still have them. Not the best, but usually solid.
Oh, and it is normal to wait for uppers. I ordered 20ish uppers in February, the made it in June I believe, maybe July, I forget.
