$80 ea for Glock 20 mags during the ban. The G20 hadn't been out that long before the ban and subsequently there weren't that many G20 mags to be had.

I told my wife that if she was going to carry a 380, she at least ought to have a spare magazine.

Forty fuckin dollars for one mag. Forty fuckin dollars, dudes.

This was before I realized that Colt mags which are half the price also work.

All our other Sigs only get MecGar mags, because fuck paying Sig's prices for them. Holy shit, man.

I think I paid about $10 for a National Geographic when I had to take a shit at the airport one time...
I paid $35 for a 5-round M1-Carbine mag. It felt like I was paying for the privilege of changing some hobo's adult diaper.

About $45 for a Sig Mosquito mag. It was during my foolish attempt to get the damn thing to run right and I thought I had problems with the magazine. I have since sold the gun.

Other than the ridiculously priced C-Mag that I bought (and have never used), the most outrageous has got to be an HS Precision 10rd magazine for my Rem 700.

$125 or thereabouts. Never even worked-- the spring was absurdly underpowered.

Sounds right, 25 bucks in 1980 would be roughly 70 bucks today.

I got mine in the late 80s after the import ban, had my 91 since the 70s. Never found one for less than $75.
Of course, I hardly ever found them at all until the web caught up.

I've always tried to buy when the price was low and tried to grab deals when I found them. I've bought some shitty mags (Promag, USA Mags, etc) but not more than the going price.

Hmm never have. The most I've paid for magazines period was $30 ea. for some used USP 45 12 round mags. They had been "refinished" with something that looks like black paint but felt like sand paper. But, it was right after the AWB sunset and CDNN was giving away a 10 round magazine with every 12 round bought.

If you bought promags you overpaid. Unless you specifically bought them for malfunction training.

Agree. So glad they put the sunset provision in that law. $100 Glock 17 magazines. $100 for 25 round 10-22 magazines.

$79.99 for the FNAR 20 round magazine- during the recent panic, and FN customer service was very vague about when the next shipment was going to released to LGS's.
