If you're looking for a quality PRIMARY rifle, then a MAC 11 probably isn't the best for you. You should go with a gun/brand that's proven itself in quality already, and not risk it on a low-to-no name manufacturer/re-brander. With a max of $150 you're going to be pretty much limited to an Echo 1. Here are some popular replicas by them that meet your requirements, or are at least near your requirements. However, Echo 1 has seen a recent price hike, so you may be forced to go with a JG. The choice is yours though.
Echo 1 G36C
Echo 1 G36K
Echo 1 M4
Echo 1 M14
Echo 1 (anything)
Get the point? It comes down to which design you like the most, as they all pretty much perform the same and cost the same. You might find somewhere around a $30 difference between them - not a big deal though. And as for a trusted retailer, look around the forum. We have a section dedicated to finding trusted retailers.

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread, as it's been asked so many times before in other threads. However, if you still have specific questions about these guns or retailers, go ahead and PM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks.
