What are the cheapest Mags you would trust/buy?

What are the cheapest mags that the collective would buy and stock up on? Links?

Wanting to stock up on some 30 round mags (open to others if the deal is great). I know there is a cheap mag thread but curious as to how cheap the collective would recommend without sacrificing to much quality.

I have had great luck with these.

$15-$20 Pmags for the AR from anywhere, $10 European steel mags from AIM surplus for the AK. Reasonably priced quality!

USGI Al magazines. Brownells has some good prices.

I paid $6 a piece for Colt 30 round used magazines at the Wichita gunshow this weekend. The seller had dozens of them. He was selling new generic magazines for $8. I tried both the new magazines and the Colts and all worked fine.

This. I occasionally see them for $8 at gunshows.

Their teflon 30 rounders w/ magpul followers for $8.50 each (when you buy lots of 10) or $9.25 each are about the best out there when it comes to the "cheapest" quality new mags.

I happen to be a magpul whore, so Hamlund Tactical for 30rnd Pmags for $11.99 each––and free shipping when you buy 10 or more–– gets my vote.

That being said...I have a few Thermold's from CDNN that I got for $2.99 each.
They seem to work fine, but they are cheap...
These are the "buy 'em cheap and stack 'em deep" magazines for ban-fearing hoarders...

30 round Pmags should be about $11.50 each delivered if the slickmags coupon code still works at Botach.

I have about 35, and don't really feel that saving $3 each and getting a metal mag is worth it.

USGI

milspec. I have adventureline, colt, d&h, nhtmg, and probably some others I am not remembering at the moment. Sometimes the used and worn ones are better than the new ones.

Is this coupon just for P-Mags or will it work on all mags?

Pmags are 15 each. If thats too much get DH usgi mags for under 10.

It was for all Magpul items. I bought a MS3, an ASAP plate, and 3 PMAGS and got 20% off of the entire order. It's been a couple of weeks and I don't know if it's still active.

Probably easier to find used USGI mags than any other used top tier tacticool magazine. I mean real contract USGI mags such as Brownells, Centers, OK, Parsons etc. Many of these work perfectly fine and have plenty of life left...................Yes I know, the spring might fail, or they might have the wrong follower, or they might get stepped on and you will be killed blah, blah, blah.........................

USGI surplus.

Slickmag is still gtg at B0tach, even tho they are the most retarded company I've ever delt with. One and done with them.

USGI used or surplus or new. I don't care as long as it's under 8.50 a mag. I peruse EE looking for deals on mags.

Pmag. Can find them for 12 bucks all the time. Plus you can run them over with a truck or hummer.

Ill keep that in mind if I think ill ever need to make a bridge out of my mags.

Magpul all the way. I have colt mags and I will still pick up my magpuls before my colts.

Its not like Colt made that mag anyway.

I have a bunch of used ones in assorted condition I bought for $4.50 each . they work well

Run over to 44 mag.

$12.99 with magpul followers is awesome.

New and like new quality mags can be found on th EE cheap all the time. Don't think cheap. Buy a few at a time and buy high quality. The NHMTG is an awesome magazine.

I made the mistake last year of buying a bunch of C-Products 30-rnd. aluminum mags. Great price at the time of $7.99 each...but they simply wouldn't feed steel cased ammo at all. Sold them all off in favor of Magpul and Lancer magazines.

Old-ass GI mags...................but it's not like I have much of a choice

NIW prebans are out there. Buy real USGI not "wannabe" USGI. If you don't like the followers upgrade.....

I know. I have some. They're still old, whether they're new in wrapper or not.


Pushing eighteen years old at a minimum to be precise

USGI

USGI

after 3 deployments as 11bravo "infantry" i have been in plenty of fire fights and never had a problem..

With that being said if they even get the slightest bend in them they turn to crap

USGI

Found some plain black 30-rd RevM PMags @ Shiptons Big R for $9.99 each. Stocked up. Sale is over though. Too bad; I should have got more.

Do DSG Mags have date stamp on them?

Yes.

They're fine so long as you know how they operate and can handle it. Certainly some good deals to be had from them.

18 years isn't old for something made out of aluminum. It was probably aluminum ore for thousands of years. Your old NIW magazines are identical to NIW mags made yesterday. I have an SP1 made in 1964(including the mags it was sold with) and it still spits out rounds like it did 48 years ago

Thanks for your service. There are people here that would try to convince the peanut gallery that you were in grave danger using standard USGI magazines in combat. Bullets from USGI mags have been putting enemies of the United States in their graves for the last 50 years........

Would you be so kind as to enlighten a new member as to how they operate ?
Thanks

BTW: I have a mix of USGI with MagPul followers and Pmags. If you catch a sale you can buy Pmags for the same price as USGI, at least i have.

you're welcome...


don't get me wrong p mags look sexy and everything, but nothing says yes like saving my money and shooting what uncle same gave me... usually and i say usually the soldiers that get P mags sent to them on deployment sit on the FOB and dont ever use them or leave

What about AR-Stoner 30 & 20 round mags from Midway. Are they any good ?

Any of the bulk pack DH mags with Magpul follower offered by various places would be good.

In a way they did. As I understand it Colt manufactured the stamping dies and Okay has them under contract from Colt. Colt leases the dies to minority contractors.
