I'd appreciate some guidance on purchasing an upper for my ar15 lower.

What I want to purchase is an upper that has a Picatinny/Weaver rail under the barrel in front of the hand guard and another on top -- i.e. a "flattop" with an ability to attach a laser in front and under the barrel.

A 16" barrel is desired.

The upper should be "complete" so I can change out with my lowers without having to change any other components.

I've looked over the Cheaper Than Dirt catalog and can't determine which uppers would fit the above specs. I have a CTD store 45 minutes away, but am not locked into purchasing from them.

Suggestions appreciated.
