Thanks this is what I was looking for
I’ve got one of their 10.5" uppers and so far it’s functioned very well. Plenty accurate too. I realize they’re a bottom of the barrel manufacturer but I wanted a cheap upper to mess around with and shoot steel case ammo etc.Couple of guys at the range used these. -

I have seen a few and for the price point paid(early 2019) they are good to go. I only know of one being highly abused and fed steel case crap from day one. So far no problems other than one hard double feed jam. the owner is not mechanically inclines so any little issues with a firearm hes at my door with sniffles and tearing eyes. "I , sniff , I, sniff , I dont know what I did"Bear Creek has good stuff for not a lot of money @dgrantdoherty I've bought a couple of uppers from them, .223 & 7.62x39 and happy with both.

it is a lot of misconceptions about that ammo. i suggest those concerned should read this, for an example, and decide for themselves -Steel case is the only thing the x39 upper I got from them gets fed and it hasn't complained yet!

How did you like them at that price point?I purchased a few of the at $225 or so.
problem right now is RRA is back ordered on a lot of stuff. I have a lot of thier offerings in my safeMany of these brands are garbage, AR stoner, bear creek, etc.
rock river arms sells uppers on their site. Excellent prices and their quality is top notch. My 16” middy RRA uppers are winners. $450 for an ar stoner midway is too high. I purchased a few of the at $225 or so. Middy A4 RRA uppers can be had for $410.

The draw to stoner is alot of stuff in stock.
Although OP did not mention budget amount I always assume when someone says budget they mean low price.
my last RRA order wasin august and I received ~6 weeks later. i Would rather back order a quality rifle component than overpay for something that ships right away. However that’s just me as A rifle snob. I need more uppers like I need more wives, so I’m plenty patient.
theres still plenty of quality uppers out there at non rape price. For example this Adams arms middy would be perfect for me suppressed but they already pinned the muzzle device, otherwise I would be all over this to Pin a dead air FH on it.
