Check out Stag Arms. I was like you, I wanted to go with a "factory built" AR for my first one. I havent had one issue with my Stag model 1. They also have a lifetime warranty and a great price point with high quality! The model 1 is as basic as it gets.....but of course I have been adding my own personality to it.

I would keep this in mind you get what you pay for. Buy a cheap AR and really use it(shoot a lot) it will not last. Save your pennies and invest in a quality weapon. Buy once cry once

Personally I'd never buy a Bushmaster.

Check out this link... its a long read, but skim over it and get the basics. It does a good, detailed brand comparison.

I've had a Bushy for 10 years and one for 7 years, They still work great.

However, not sure if one today would be the same quality.

agreed. some companies try to make money off there past success with lower quality products at three times the price

I'll also put in a good word for Stag... My Stag is a great shooter... even when it was stock.
