    None of them, don’t put yourself in a position that you will regret later for selling one.

    If I was going to get rid of one, it would be the one with forensic data that might cause some difficulties down the line. But then again, could just swap bolt carriers, barrels, and other parts because Ars are just Barbie Dolls for men.

    Down the road, that AR may become way more important then money.

    Full Disclosure - I was issued these plastic fantastics for more than 20 years. I'm not a fan of the caliber or the platform.

    Anything less than thirty caliber is good trading stock.

    Well there's an old axiom when it comes to prepping.
    "Two is one and one is none..."
    Take it from there.

    Sell the Eagle. Mainly, now is the time to sell, not buy. If you are comfortable with two AR's, then don't worry about. I sold off a good sized chunk of my collection since prices are high and don't regret it at all since I reinvested the money into another machinegun, an motorcycle I wanted, and donated a quarter of it to my grandmothers church.

    Hmm,, the Eagle I mainly liked just for the nostalgia with the carrying handle. I've got a few others to take it's place in 308 ,, but different platforms. Still on the fence about thinning the herd anyway.
    Thanks for all of the replies.
