Supposedly these things are the s*%t. Does anyone know if these uppers are commercially available for civilian purchase?

Not at this time. The HK416 bolt carrier group is cut for full-auto and they haven't announced a civilian version yet. Patriot Ordnance Factory lists a semi-auto gas piston upper in their catalog, but no details or prices.

I've ran across a couple post dealer guns that people have parted out.
They are getting $5000 for the upper!
Way too much for me.
Watch a couple of the NFA market boards, they pop up for time to time.
But technically they are illegeal for civilian ownership because of the barrel. It is imported and that's a no-no now. The fact it has a F/A carrier isn't all that big of a deal.

Well, there is always this:

[Edit] I should note that after reading about the "M-4 problems" around the web that most soldiers are raising the BS flag on this article. They claim that the only people having problems are the ones that refuse to clean their rifles. Their advice is to take this article with a grain of salt, as the author "has an axe to grind". [/Edit]

Bushmaster and DSA are all marketing their own gas piston uppers (made by the same company) and the thing that cracks me up is the fact they admit it is more reliable than the standard AR. Somebody that makes the AR platform finally admits the rifle is not the most reliable.
I did my bitchin over here about my issues http://www.therallypoint.org/forum/index.php?topic=1004.0
When I get one, I'm going to test it out for awhile and if I like it, I might sell off half my semi-auto rifles for a couple more.

To be fair, a company or service provider saying that the old model is unreliable or inconsistent when bringing a new version to the market isn't an unheard of marketing tactic. They want you to get the new shiny thing after all and are willing to cut into sales of old stock to do so.
Doesn't mean I'm any less interested in a gas piston upper though, it may delay completion of my planned AR build for a bit.
