    I'm trying to reduce the number of guns I own because the only place I can shoot them is my gun range. Too many purchases. Both rifles were bought from individuals and neither looks like it has been shot or at least, not very much. So, which one do I keep?

    LaRue PredatAR LT-15 Tactical FDE. The more expensive of the two.

    LWRC M6 IC SPR.

    Again, from my research both are great rifles. I just don't need to keep both of these. I already have a Colt LE6920MP that I plan to keep.

    Man, I feel your “pain” and I reckon it’s a good problem to have :) I’m agonizing over similar decisions as you but with handguns.
    Both rifles have same barrel length? Does one better fill a niche in your lineup than the other? As in, is one better configured for hunting than the other? They both sure are nice rifles that’s for sure. If it was me, I believe I’d hold onto the LaRue until after the 2020 elections and see how the Political anti-gunner winds are blowing then. With the fairly comfy position we are in now, it’s definitely a buyers market out there now which means it’s more difficult to get top dollar when trying to re-sell our used guns, even ones from the more highly sought after and valued names in the business. That means having to sell some guns at a loss now or wait and see if the Dems win in 2020 (God Forbid!) and gun prices go up drastically between Nov ‘20 and Jan ‘21

    Swap the barrel on one of them to 300BO and you'll have a reason to keep both for little cost.

    I wish I had that problem, although I'm not sure how many guns that would be to get to the reduction point.

    Honestly, between the 3 you mentioned, I'd get rid of that Colt. It serves no purpose compared to the other two. You already have 2 direct impingement with the Colt and LaRue, so get rid of the Colt.

    Since I could not make a decision on which rifle to keep, I decided to post both and keep what didn't sell first. Changed my mind because of this thread. Keeping both for now.
    Good idea, with an uncertain future ahead I think AR's and AK's are probably the last arms I would contemplate selling. Those are usually the top of the list for gun ban targets.

    I would not sell ANYTHING till just before or after the midterm elections next year. You'll know which the wind blows by then.
