eta Just know realized my GSD decided to walk past and drop whatever he was chewing on in the second pic In my line of work it's often refeered to as a "20mm can", but there are several types of ordnance that utlize this for packing/transport.

Here's my meager contribution, 31 total in this potato pic:
However, I just HAD to get my foliage green fix one more time, and found a killer deal from an online vendor, which showed up today: 
I ordered up 43 of these sage brush tinted beauties 
Next order will be FDE and black, and maybe a few Lancers just to mix it up a bit. I currently have 2 completed rifles, but with 3 kids, and a stash of lowers, that's gonna change. I'll be happy with around 15-20 mags per completed rifle I think, but that's still a ways off before they're big enough for an AR. Current plan is to pick up at least two cases of ammo by this fall and stock up on reloading supplies as I have at least 2k empty brass ready to go. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CrawlerJamie:
Serious question: what's the point of having tons of mags? I want to buy more, but then I realized....why do I need more mags? Is there a reason of just SHTF? During the '94 AWB, preban GI mags were going for between $35-$100 depending on condition, not including preban Beta and other drum type mags, which were going for much more, around $600-$700. Cost on 30 round mags during the ban for gov't sales was around $8. Used mags before the ban were going for a couple of bucks a piece. So you figure if you bought 100 at $4-$5 before the ban, and sold 100 during the ban, you would have made a profit between $3K and $9.5K, depending on condition... So, as soon as the ban ended, and mags were around $10, people started buying the snot out of them (in states that were still free), because we never wanted to be in that position again. Mags are consumable, and things happen, Would suck to have 10 30's, an AWB somehow come down that not only banned the sale of standard capacity mags, but the transfer of existing mags, which they were trying to pass after 'Sandy Hook', which would mean that not only can you not buy new, you cant even buy used. Then your 10 mags would be all you would ever have.. Mags are cheap, and can be sold/bartered for other items if needed, so having a lot of mags is not a negative in any manner!! |

Compared to a lot of folks (at least, compared to a lot of arfcom folks
 ), I probably don't count as a mag-whore; but compared to JQPublic, I probably do. I have only four AR's and have ~250-260 magazines. Never planned to have that many and will certainly sell some off during the next panic (maybe even before if an attractive opportunity comes up).
Thing is, a week ago my number of magazines jumped sharply; 'sharply' being the number '90'. I found a site closing out their stock of genuine NHMTG 30-rounders with magpul followers, for $9.99. Ridiculously low, imo. They're OOS now...

I was really surprised at the 10 pack i picked up of those same Bushmaster mags. They were what I would call good. PMAG would be great. I took a few apart and had some rough edges. Nothing that actually using and cycling the mag would not fix. Overall, happy, and prefer using 20 rounders anyway. |

Good time to be looking for deals. This is especially true with Okay's name change away from the NHMTG label going on; you can find the NHMTG's on closeout some places. I picked up 83 genuine Okay/NHMTG 30's with Magpul followers probably a couple months ago or so, for $9.99 at climags.com. Life is good:
I've actually given away some of them to a friend who only had three magazines for his gun. Feels good to have enough to be able to do that without making myself short; especially with top-tier magazines like Okay's. With prices the way they are right now and with the political climate the way it is - and the way it's likely to be during & after next year's election season - it just seems prudent to have this particular category covered as well as possible. |

Paid? $0.59/lb Pics or Not raising the BS Flag .... but I would love to see pics of that mag stash Plus the Goodwill stores in my area pull anything gun related. As do the other thrift/2nd hand stores , a military style pistol belt with just holes in it would be very odd to find. Very few have any basic military items like pants, shirts, etc. The pawn shop chain only has one location that will sell firearms because of the risks of fines for mistakes from under trained employees, not really an anti gun policy for the company. The small Mom and Pop Pawn shops all deal in firearms. Kinda curious, about other areas. Area is Pro 2A especially as you get away from the city and brainwashed young-ins that have never seen, held and/or shot a gun. No pictures because my mags are scattered between storage spaces some with weapons, some with the ammo and others in the closet waiting to be open and loaded. Hoping the prices keeps dropping, so I can load all and have the spare cases of ammo on stand by. A sealed box/tin/battlepack doesn't give you much reward time handling it.... Now only if 30-30 would have a decent by the case sale price, slowly building for years and saving brass since I turned 18. Come to think of it i do need to take more pictures, but that requires more models right? Justification and encouragement is what this thread is about

During the '94 AWB, preban GI mags were going for between $35-$100 depending on condition, not including preban Beta and other drum type mags, which were going for much more, around $600-$700. Cost on 30 round mags during the ban for gov't sales was around $8. Used mags before the ban were going for a couple of bucks a piece. So you figure if you bought 100 at $4-$5 before the ban, and sold 100 during the ban, you would have made a profit between $3K and $9.5K, depending on condition... So, as soon as the ban ended, and mags were around $10, people started buying the snot out of them (in states that were still free), because we never wanted to be in that position again. Mags are consumable, and things happen, Would suck to have 10 30's, an AWB somehow come down that not only banned the sale of standard capacity mags, but the transfer of existing mags, which they were trying to pass after 'Sandy Hook', which would mean that not only can you not buy new, you cant even buy used. Then your 10 mags would be all you would ever have.. Mags are cheap, and can be sold/bartered for other items if needed, so having a lot of mags is not a negative in any manner!! I had four Beta mags, and sold three of them during the ban. 
I suspect that if (when) another ban comes down the pike, though, the market will already be saturated. It'll be like the .22 rimfire panic - people have overbought and hoarded. More mags and .22 ammo are out there than will ever be used.. Eventually we'll be seeing stacks of them at yard sales. |

I agree, market is completely saturated. I think my mix of 75 NHMTG and Pmags (a $1000 just in mags) are plenty for what I'm doing and don't see the need to buy more to potentially flip during a ban scare.
EDIT: on second thought, decided to order another 10 NHMTG from 44mag while they are on closeout before they are gone for good. These are excellent USGI mags. |

Don't worry, they're just changing the name to Okay. NHMTG, Colt, and Okay are all the same mags. They're just dropping the NHMTG name and keeping Okay. |

Certainly hope so, especially the .22LR...
Like the old maxim: "Buy when others are selling, and sell when others are buying." |

I bought a few USGI mags for $3 each not too long ago. Felt so good about it I donated them to the local PD.

Thing is, a week ago my number of magazines jumped sharply; 'sharply' being the number '90'. I found a site closing out their stock of genuine NHMTG 30-rounders with magpul followers, for $9.99. Ridiculously low, imo. They're OOS now...
Well that makes me feel even better about the 10 Gen 2 black Pmags I got for $8 each as a knee jerk after the last shooting that didnt cause any long term scare. I then ordered 40 Gen 3 Sand for $11 each and left them in the wrappers "just in case". I think I would pass on metal mags until they dropped below $7-$8. They just dont give me as much a warm fuzzy as Pmags...
