They do wear out, and you never know when some asshole is going to make them illegal again.

10 mags per rifle is required to maintain active status in the ARFCOM "inner circle" (or so DonR and Arock told me.) Some of us own... well... "more than a few" rifles.....
I have over 100 mags. Seriously, I know I have only been shooting AR's for almost 4 years.... but I have been using the same 8 - 30 rounders as my range/training mags since day one... I have to guess right at around 10,000 rounds.... and my mags still look fine. I think it would take a LOT of abuse to wear mags out by use.... I can see them getting beat up a little worse in training classes tho. Just get 10 per rifle and you are good to go.... unless you live somewhere that might ban them in the future..... and STOCK UP. It's for the children!

I'm a relative newbie to AR's, but I've got 11 30rd mags now. And I got in on Tapco's sale... I'm awaiting 7 more.
It's a sickness, I think. Besides, who knows how long you'll be able to buy, or even own them... |

if another ban comes along, best to have extra mags mags wear out too... they look awsome new

I've never worn out a magazine. However, I have broken or damaged mags via accidents and acts of stupidity. Once a feed lip is dented it's very difficult to fix correctly.

I have 5 and would like five more but....I live in California. No deals for me. I get to read the ad's for NIW G.I. mag's in Shotgun News and on the EE here and vibrate with anger.

if you lived in CA before the ban and have 5 mags, how many mags do they know you have... unless you post it on an online forum.
You can always buy preban mags from somewhere else and bring them back, unless they now stop you at the border... anyway, AR mags aren't the sturdest thing in the world. If they were all steel, maybe 10 would be plenty. But they arent't. I say at least 20... |

The deals I've seen require one to live elsewhere, or no deal. Also most mag's now for sale have dates stamped on the bottom. Bad news for me. |

Betcha your one of those fellas that don't have any spare parts for your weapons either..... As noted above if the world keeps right on spining on greased rails, you'll probably be able to buy the mags and items ya want till kingdom come. (or atleast until Kerry or some demoncrat gets elected) However should the world come to an end as we know it, and you don't have the bare essentials, as in plenty of mags and replacement springs, plenty of ammo or a reloader and bullet makin components out the wazoo, a simple broken extractor, places your weapon out of action. Turning an expensive rifle into an awkward club. Some folks are short sighted enough to live with that possibility. Most of us around here aren't! Mike |

yeah, but you're not a rifleman unless you load single rounds in your ar-15 without using a mag at the range.

At least five reasons:
Reason One -- Range time is for shooting. TV time is for loading. Reason Two -- 4 shooters and 5 ARs Reason Three -- The competition mags are to be kept pristine. Reason Four -- Cheaper to buy in bulk. Especially, when people will buy some with a 30% mark-up. Reason Five -- Politicians |

With various state laws, and unknown possible future bans, the mags I have now may be the last I will ever get.
Also, just like my Homeland Defense Rifles, when asked why I need them, I say, "Just like a fire extinguisher, I don't need it now, but if I ever do, it will be too damn late to run to the store and buy one." |

AGAIN, zombies multiply at a exponetial rate while your loading mags and move faster when you have to reload.

Thanks - lots of guys here have WAY more than I do!
So do I, now. There are also the FAL mags, AK mags, pistol mags, etc. Counting all those, I'd say I have three times as many as that pic these days.

 30 or 40?  Those numbers are for lightweights around here son! I shoot with the same 13-15 mags all the time but I have 170+ upstairs in boxes (and buying more all the time). Like someone else said, I'm saving them for the zombies Seriously, it's a sickness and I can't seem to get it under control
