David,
I actually thought about doing just that. I fll upper would cost as much as buying a shooter so that would be a waste of time.
All you would need is a complete breechblock/firing pin and the rest of the toggle train. You could just swap that out to shoot with, and about the only other thing you might break is the ejector (flat spring that is not normally marked, at least on DWMs)...
But then I realized there could still be headspace issues so you would need some 9mm headspace gauges. All in all, I figured I might as well just buy a shooter because you're right - it would not be the same gun.
