Nice stash and setup.

The small one is a 1150, the larger one is a 1200. There's 30 round pmags in the small one and 30 round GI mags in the other.

I keep a normal load out ready. 7-8 mags. Maybe ten. And even then I rotate those every 6-9 months.

One of the spring manufacturers, I forget which one, advises to switch the rounds in AR mags every 3 months.
