Decided I should buy some more for my kids while I still can....... Besides, It's almost Christmas.
Thanks,
Dan

Have heard some bad things about the Bear Creek rifles. YMMV.
Expand on that please, actual info vs hear say?

I would also consider the Springfield Saint for a little more.

PSA
Palmetto state armory
Putting in another vote for PSA: I've built two of my 3 ARs out of PSA uppers/lowers, and I've been very happy with the quality for the most part. I waited for blemished uppers or lowers to be available to order, and so they may have some aesthetic marks (that i haven't noticed) and i got em for cheaper that way. If you're patient you can build one dang cheap!

I had some bad experiences with Bear Creek parts myself. Wrong parts sent, really bad/slow customer service to exchange them, and really poor quality on the parts that were sent. They are low priced but not a bargain.
On the other hand, I've bought a lot of stuff from PSA and have always been happy about it. Some of their stuff is lower end as well, but not as crude as BC.

I've heard the DPMS Oracle is a good entry level AR.
Working on it....

If I was looking for a "Good shooter" in the lower price ranges, with dependable reliability, I would go for a SW MP15 or a Colt.
I would also consider the Springfield Saint for a little more.
+1 Ive had personal experience with multiple M&P sport 2's and have been pleasantly surprised. Out of the box they are a pretty good basic AR that works
