California already has them and I have a gut feeling the Fed's might restrict the capacities also. I just stocked up on 5 round AR-15 and AR-10 mags and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea for the rest of you to think about getting some now rather than finding them out of stock if they even start to talk about mag capacity restrictions.
I only have one AR that I shoot with a large cap mag and I'm thinking about getting rid of it because it's really not my style. I target shoot and hunt with my AR's so I never have a need for more than a five round mag. |

With 3D printers as popular as they are it would be useless legislation. I could print a bunch of mags if I wanted to. They won't last nearly as long as a pmag, but if I wanted to commit a come I only need them to last for one use.

I have more than I could ever use, but a Vortex red dot I bought around Christmas came with 10 P-Mags, so I threw them in the extra mag box with the rest.
I actually could use a few 5 rounders (don't have any) since I began setting up the 26" precision AR. |

A while back I bought 1 10 round magpul. Just cuz I think it's always a possibility. But yeah, even 10 rounders might be too much....... I didn't even know there were current 5 round AR mags available. I'm assuming that's what you meant. I know they make 5 round flush fit for the M1A. I don't have any but I have 2 10 rounders for that rifle.

why would I stock up on something that would be available after a supposed ban? Wouldn't it make more sense to stock up on that which might be banned instead?
That said I'm tripping over cases of standard capacity magazines. |

California outlawed standard capacity magazines and an estimated 7 to 10 million of them are being held in private hands in contempt of that law.
Law enforcement in California claims nobody turned any of them in to the police. Magazines are cheap and plentiful, buy a lot for future use. It won't matter what gets banned if you're fully stocked. Make sure you have a couple of five round magazines for use at public ranges. |

I can't say I've ever even seen a 5 round AR mag. Ten sure. Why the fuck would you use a 5 rounder if you don't legally have to? Even bigger question is why would you stock up on them?
Do you own a company that only makes 5 round AR mags OP? That's the only thing that makes any sense for making this thread |

If you want investment advice - buy 30s, as many as you can afford... after they are banned, they will triple in price... buy low, sell high!..
In addition, if "high capacity" mags are banned, they will no longer be offered for sale to the public at retail. The previously produced 20s, 30s, etc. don't stop working and they are not unlawful to possess... You just can't get any new ones... lots of "used" mags are out there... I stocked up on 20s and 30s (PMAGs) before the november 2008 election in anticipation of them becoming unobtainium. It's 10 years later and many are still in their original wrappings and all are still available... Enjoy your 5 rounders & shoot them in good health!

Not from around here is an odd statement for a forum on the internet, but no, I guess I'm not. I'm from Nevada and we only have the restrictions while hunting game other than varmints (coyotes). The 30's really don't bode well while hunting if for no other reason than the added weight you don't need while trying to hold over. The 10 is pretty much ideal in my book. What I'm hoping for the most is that people will come to their senses and not make a reactionary gun control decision. The NRA is pretty good and putting pressure on during these periods and you have to give them a lot of credit for taking the heat for us. Lets pray they don't do anything regarding mags but I'm ready if they do.

Fair enough... I do own a few (2 or 3) 5ers. Don't use them except for hunting which isn't all that often... I usually end up using a larger caliber (30-something) and different action (bolt or lever) for hunting... In terms of mag size - for me 20 is the sweet spot...

I was in Sportsman's warehouse yesterday and there was a whole rack of 5 round .223/.556 and .308 mags. It may have been there before but I don't remember seeing it. I certainly don't think Sportsman's Warehouse is trying to predict the future in fact I think they're there to accommodate the folks that use their AR's for hunting. All I'm saying is that if you do want them, that's where you might find them.
