Yea, to complete the upper itself, you’d just need forward assist assembly and dust cover assembly, which I happen to have an extra of each.

To fully complete the upper, you’ll need:  
barrel  
gas block  
gas tube  
gas tube roll pin  
muzzle brake or thread protector to pin on the threads of the barrel if it’s threaded  
barrel nut  
handguard set  
sights
