Many gun owners such as those with AR15s have a huge collection of AR15 magazines. Some reaching into the hundreds
I do have around 30 AR magazines, which has been way more than I needed as I have only needed to use less than a few at any given time. I didn't have any mags break on me, so I could have done just fine if I had just had only a few magazines. I believe that I have this many because I was caught in the game of buy as much magazines I can get or just bought them because they were on sale.

I can see having a couple or three dozen mags to have enough to carry in an emergency or have in case of a ban and have enough in case one or two go bad.

But those of you gun owers who have 100s of mags laying around, is it because you expect to go through all those magazines in your lifetime? Did you buy them thinking you can make a profit selling them in the future? Are you that abusive to your magazines, throwing them around, stepping on them, running them over with your car that they don't last long enough for you?

With the 30 AR15 mags I have now. I feel I have more than enough to last me the rest of my life and need to carry on me in an any emergency or have enough if I could never buy another AR15 magazine again because of a ban or any other reason.

I've purposely opened brand new in wrapper magazines and used them even though I had plenty of fully functional used magazines just because I thought I paid money for this mag, I might as well use it, even though I don't have to.

In addition, how many of you have a bunch of NIW pre-ban magazines that you paid top dollar for before the ban was lifted that have been sitting in your closet and today you can get all the brand new mags you want for around $13 and you now get a sour feeling that you spent all that money for nothing?

IMO you need around 10 mags per AR.

I have 28 AR mags. I have at least 4 mags for every pistol, rifle or .22 that takes a magazine.

And speaking of Mags. Those mags I got through that last DPMS sale seem to be the best mags I have ever bought. They seem to lock in easier. All 10 I bought feed flawlessly. Can't ask for more than that.

Q That he was for the ban?
McClellan: For a reauthorization of the current ban.

It's not illegal immigration, it's an invasion


If you want peace, prepare for war.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

Gambled that it would end. Used that money to buy more when it ended.



I see nothing wrong with collecting mags. Some day you might agree with me. Also you might be saying I wish I bought more. bigsmile.gif

I own mags for guns I don't even own. Just because I can. anim_nana.gif

I have about 15 AR mags and 5 AK mags.

I am buying a few mags here and there when I can, but all new ones get one to two uses to confirm working then go into storage till 'the holy jihad war'

I have a little bit over 100 AR mags, around 20 AK mags. I don't have anywhere near that many pistol mags... yet.


TS



ETA: Mine aren't for sale, they're for use. Mags fail, break, etc... I should have plenty to last for a while if a ban hits.
