I'm currently sitting around 410 mags for my AR's. And I still don't think I have enough. I still buy GI 20's when I find them under $14, and that is the bulk of my mag collection.

Need to stock up on those too And handguns? I need to pick up more for them too How do you plan on going through more than 410 magazines? I doubt he does. But there will come a time when you can't buy more for your kids and grand kids. Buy now at $8 or later at $30. |

Having lived through the last AWB, I can tell you it's not about "going through" that many mags yourself. It's about having whatever # you want, at todays cheap (no AWB/No mag cap limit) prices, for you, your kids, your grandkids...and still have enough to maybe sell for a profit or stash away. YMMV |

Think of them as currency, as seen during the "Great Gun-Grab Scare of 2012" magazines especially Pmags became the most trade-able item in the EE. I still remember CTD selling them for $99.00 a piece and people were actually buying them. Were they really? I knew they were expensive then but I didn't see that! Yeow! Back in 12-08 I did see CProd thirties change hands for $40 in TX gun stores. Not once... BUT (at least) twice they pulled this stuff. 2008 and 2012 Screenshots of the CTD online catalog: http://ontheoutside.co/news/goodbye-cheaper-than-dirt/comment-page-1/ This is just like Bill Clinton, young folks, don't know of their antics! If you wonder why we all say fuck CTD that is why. Never another penny They also jacked up the price of ammo too. A case of 5.56 went from $300 to $1500 overnight. Fuck CTD |

So I have 2 ARs, and about 70 magazines for them - mostly Pmags. While I'm well satisfied with my inventory, reading through the pinned "mag whores" thread, it would seem I have a woefully inadequate supply by comparison.

I agree....Buy a few more AR'S then you have more reason to buy more mags. |

I'm somewhere in the 90 range, for personal use. Combination of 20's/30's, Pmags, Lancers and USGI's.
That's probably plenty, although, I always want more. Really, I keep about 25 as my practice mags (gen2 pmags), about 30 for social use (gen3 pmags and newer lancers). The rest are USGI's which I keep for long term storage backup. I've also got another 60 or so set aside for resale. |

I have one cabinet, that I just remembered, with a stack of mags left from last Black Friday, and I just loaded a few hundred M855. Now my OCD wants to load them up post haste. 
Weaksauce on the AR count. I thought I had 8, but going through the safe yesterday, I found 10 that were fully assembled.
You need at least 5 magpul D60 mags before you start a brag thread.

More then I will ever use in a lifetime but I am also buying for my kid and some of the family in case something happens. Same with ammo. Having 100 guns doesn't do any good if you don't have mags or ammo to use in them. More then hundreds upon hundreds of mags, you should have cases upon cases of ammo. If you intend to sell the mags, that's another story. Ammo will be the same way. Hell 22 ammo was the most tradable commodity that you could have a couple of yrs ago and will be again. There has already been an uptick in the price of some guns from places because of what that asshat did a couple of weeks ago in Orlando. Ammo will soon follow the closer we get to the election.

I have 5 I always use, mix of Okay, Center, and something else (can't remember ATM). I keep the other ~30 locked up ready to be swapped should my 5 go down. Get the original MAGPUL's and they will cushion your mags when dropped.

Your reading comprehension is really bad. I never once stated that I thought 20 mags was 'enough'. And just because I don't plan on breaking even 20 mags doesn't mean I think it's an okay number to have. And if I never have a 'need' to use even 1/4 of my mags, I'll still be perfectly happy. However, if the left gets their way, as they did in '94, you will wish you had spent a few extra bucks a month on mags. But either way, I have mags, and I can convert them to cash if I ever need. But you might not have that option in the future. |

Again my reading comprehension is fine, you just have a magazine obsession and are trying to justify it. 1/4 of your magazines would be over 100, you are going to use 100 magazines?
Magazines won't be the only thing that will be banned. Firearms will be banned. You could have bought a transferable m11/9 and it would have appreciated way more than your magazines. You could have bought a couple guns that would also appreciate and you would be more likely to use than magazines. It is an assumption that there will be the demand like there was during 94. It is an assumption that you will even be allowed to sell them if they ban them. See Cali. It is an assumption that you will even be allowed to keep them. See Cali. |

You need at least 5 magpul D60 mags before you start a brag thread. I have 12 ARs and I think I have hit a wall at the moment. I don't really see a need to build anymore for in the immediate future. That being said, I have six lowers just sitting there all lonely. I am sitting at well over 100 magazines and I just bought 20 more from the JSE Surplus flood sale. I am not sure how many mags I have but I am estimating it is close to if not at 200 at the moment. I have them stashed in ammo cans, a couple of extra sets of plate carries with level 4 plates, and a couple extra sets of TA-50. A few years ago, I was doing inventory on my medical supply connex and I found a box of 100 new in wrapper Center Industries 30rd Mags. I took them to my supply sergeant and he didn't want them so he told me to get rid of them. I promptly secured them to throw away as instructed, I just wasn't told when to throw them away.
So knowing right from wrong, you did the right thing, right? As a citizen, thanks for your service. As a taxpayer... Better they end up in the hands of someone than a trash pile. And if this bothers you as a taxpayer, you haven't been paying attention to the bigger picture |

Again my reading comprehension is fine, you just have a magazine obsession and are trying to justify it. 1/4 of your magazines would be over 100, you are going to use 100 magazines? Magazines won't be the only thing that will be banned. Firearms will be banned. You could have bought a transferable m11/9 and it would have appreciated way more than your magazines. You could have bought a couple guns that would also appreciate and you would be more likely to use than magazines. It is an assumption that there will be the demand like there was during 94. It is an assumption that you will even be allowed to sell them if they ban them. See Cali. It is an assumption that you will even be allowed to keep them. See Cali. Mi don't understand your thought process at all. Given the history of laws and shortages I think it's sound logic to stock up on as many as you can. Especially since they are about $12 a mag. Cheap. Plus they are perishable. If we can't get them anymore but can still use them you want to makes sure you have enough to last. Your assumptions could go either way, and quite frankly no one is "allowing" me to have anything. I don't care what some traitor polirician says. I have a right to own them so I do. Just like I did when I lived in a ban state. |

Every dollar spent on magazines is a dollar that can't be spent on something else. I'm not against having magazines, but to say that 450 magazines isn't enough for your personal use is ridiculous. |

You have enough for those two rifles. Now you need to buy two more rifles and 70 mags to go with them. The answer is always, "one more". Whether mags or rifles.

But you thing the guys only carry that? I haven't bought mags to 'sell off'. Nor have I neglected to buy other things I want. My needs all get covered, so I have decided to spend my money on mags. What do you think is 'enough' ammo? 100 rounds? 200? After all, if you think no one 'needs' more than a dozen or so mags, what use is more ammo than mags to hold it? |

I'm sitting on a bunch of mags that I'm thinking about selling off as time permits due to uncertainty of future laws.
On one hand I want to go all patriot and refresh the tree of liberty, on the other hand, this country is just turning into a fucking sick joke with the 'demographic shift' and the inherent political climate associated with it, and I'm just not real enthusiastic about getting all bloodied up to protect it. I don't even know what it is anymore. I could make do with a regular 'ol bolt rifle for ranch duty and keep carrying my Sig P239 and Glock 43 whether it's legal or not. I spend a fair bit of time down in Mexico and I think it's a pretty honest look into out future as far as gun laws go. Small, concealable, disposable pistols are king down there and if it comes down to it, I'd play that game here too. |

On a theoretical level, yes, that could be cat agonized as ridiculous but I think we as humans hear something that sounds foreign to us so we dismiss it as ridiculous. For example, if you listed off you hobbies and other activities I'm sure we could find something other claim is ridiculous. Lots of things could be considered ridiculous. Aftermarket parts on cars that are a depreciating asset and will result in a monetary loss technically is ridiculous. When it comes to firearms and related item though, like I said, we have to deal with externalities like traitorous politicians. They have struck before and will again. 450 is a lot. But maybe, in 50 years, some will break. Some will wear out. Some sold. Some traded, given away, et cetera. If he has the money then it's not a big deal. I'm not saying your wrong and there might be a psychological aspect to it. |

The CA/MA thing is grounds for the next Supreme Court challenge. You have Hillary saying her court will over turn Heller and Ginsburg (who should be disbarred and impeached) echoing that sentiment. That said, I would like to point out a scene from the movie Terminator 3. When they go to the cemetery and instead of Sara Connor being buried there was a cache of weapons. Mag collections will have a similar fate. Seems every couple of years that Ohio of all places someone finds a Thompson in the walls of an old house.
