    Does this gun trade make sense.

    After seeing all the panic buying going on, I noticed that 30-30 Win is still in stock. Does it make sense for a guy (who already owns an AR) to try to trade his last stripped AR lower for a 30-30 lever gun, like a Marlin 336?

    If a ban goes into place, it makes sense to keep the lower, unless the gubmint wants to take the ARs. Otherwise, it might make sense now to trade for a Marlin, especially if I already want one?

    Wdyt? Input is appreciated.

    I have a stripped lower and a Marlin 36. Right now they both fetch around $300, but I'd grab the Marlin myself.

      You have an AR, unless you have a real need for two, get the Marlin.

        I would trade my stripped lower for your Marlin 30-30, any day

            For the price and the current "possibilities" keep your lower, and just buy the Marlin. You can always pick up the 30-30 but not buy a second lower.

              If it makes sense to you then go for it. I mean, if you really want the marlin.

                  If you can trade a stripped lower for a Marlin then you have done well. Everyone should have a good lever gun.

                    Make the trade before the prices of lowers come back down.

                      you have an AR. if you want or need a second one, keep the lower. if you believe you may want or need a second one in the future, keep the lower. if not... get what you want and don't look back.

                        get the marlin, you will have a gun instead of a piece of metal sitting around

                            if all this Gubmint junk about possible bans gets shut down, what will be worth more? a lower (150$) you have to build? or a complete rifle (~400$) that is super fun to shoot?

                            see what i did there?
                            take the trade! you already have an AR and can build a different upper later on if you want something different with that platform!
