Yearly bonus = 2 rifles

I've been planning this for a while and we're finally receiving our yearly bonuses. So, it's rifle buying time. I don't have the cash for high high end ones, but I decided on 2 "plinkers"

An AR-15 variant and an AK-47 variant. For the AR-15, I'd prefer not to spend over $1000. For the AK, I'm looking in the $500-600 region. An M1A is also sought, but I'm going to wait on that for a little while.

Any brands to stay way far away? I've been looking at 2 possibilities for the AK-47. I can buy a Romanian parts kit for something like $250 and then a receiver for $75-100, or a Polish Rifle for $699. For the AR-15, I'm looking at either a Bushmaster or Olympic. I might go a few bucks more if some thought it bought a lot more rifle.
