Which one to get rid of?

[Mr. 16 gauge]

I have to military-style rifles: an AR15 (Bushmaster) and a M-14 copy (Chicom-Polytech). I've decided to thin out what I have, and will probably get rid of one of these rifles; the question is: Which one?
I bought the M14 first, have taken deer with it, and have a few odds and ends for it (scope mount, extra stock, several high capacity magazines).
I bought the AR15 with the idea of using it as a varmint rifle and a SHTF gun. I have a scope mounted on it, as well as several high capacity magazines as well. It is a post ban gun, so it doesn't have the flash hider, bayonet lug, ect.

I bought both these rifles with the idea of using them as hunting guns first and SHTF guns second. Living in the suburbs of Detroit has it's disadvantages

So, if you had to decide between the two, which would you keep, and which would you get rid of? I reload for both; the Chicom is finicky about what it likes; the AR not so much.

BTW: I don't need to sell the gun, i.e. it's not like I need the cash to pay the mortgage, or the kids tuition....it's just that I don't have the time to shoot anymore as much as I would like. I will most likely keep all the shotguns (since I consider myself primarily a bird hunter), but I have a few handguns in the safe that I will put on the block because I just don't shoot them that often.

Keep the AR..It's a bushmaster and can be converted to other calibers if wanted..can't use it for deer..but are you going deer hunting with the M-14??

If it were me I would keep the AR then sell me the M14.

Mr. 16 gauge,

The "End Times" are near per Glenn Beck. I would keep all my guns and use them for trading material when Obama finally wrecks this nation. A gun and 100 rounds of ammo will be worth its weight in gold, in my humble opinion.

Handguns will bring a premium from the unarmed "Sheep." Bunker down, load much and stock food for the "Lean Years." Gold is not worth $1,500 per ounce, but a functioning firearm will be in Future Times.

Probably not much, if ever, any more....I took a Sika deer with it back when I first got it. I do have other 'deer' rifles (.30/30, .35 Rem, .30-06, 6.5 Swede), so it's not like I won't have a rifle to hunt deer with, and most of my deer hunting takes place in an area that is shotgun/muzzleloader only anyway.

Or, I can always wait until the next time the Democrats take control of the house AND senate again....seems like Obama is a better gun salesman than politician; everything disappeared off the shelves and prices sky rocketed!
