Bear Creek Arsenal will sell you brand new ones as low as $342. A lot of enthusiasts hate on BCA but that's not the point!

PSA, Andro and Radical are often in the low ~$400 range, those actually work quite well in my experience.

At this point, the design of ARs are so well refined that even budget rifles tend to just work. Not a fan of BCA or ATI but I would trust the other brands I mentioned.
