Quote HistoryQuoted: SPNI. Millions were cranked out prior to the 2016 election JIC FHRC won. The market was flooded with mags for a period after and that flood was a significant representation of stocking up during the salad days. Hell... Not only have most folks bought more than they will ever need, many have bought from dozens to hundreds of mags at a time as an investment. |

They are on the shelf because they are on the shelf. If there were none to be had people would be waiting in lines for them and scalping them.
Just wait until the first hint of an AWB with creepy Joe at the helm, they will be gone. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: WTF good is a bunch of empty magazines? People want AMMUNITION. I hear you about ammo. But excepting new gun owners, anyone else who has been a gun owner for more than a minute should have little to no reason to be short on ammo right now. Like I said in other posts ammo was cheap and widely available for something like 7 or 8 years prior to the current shortage. To me, having a significant cache of long-term ammo stored away is a “duh” thing. It’s a non-negotiable, just like having long-term food stored away. To the extent a lot of people now don’t have ammo to shoot, honestly, a lot of that is on them for not building up reserves over the years. Take my buddy Josh for example. Last week he awkwardly asked if I’d sell him a couple boxes of 9mm. Even more awkwardly he asked if I’d sell it to him at yesterday’s prices. I asked him why he didn’t have any ammo stored and he said “I can’t afford to buy and store ammo!” But he COULD afford a $45,000 truck, three expensive TV’s, a family trip to Hawaii last winter, and various other toys/non-critical items. Like a lot of gun owners he just isn’t ready to admit that he made a conscious choice to be unprepared. Because choosing not to do something is, itself, a choice. I think a lot of gun owners just took for granted that ammo would always be relatively cheap and relatively available, and therefore made a conscious decision to not stock up. It sucks for them, but in most cases I’m not feeling a lot of sympathy for them. It’s an old story. Literally a story, as memorialized by Aesop’s “The Ant and The Grasshopper”. |

I'm not even that interested in it. I also want some G20 and 21 mags even though I don't own either and don't have any .45 or 10mm. I have a duffle bag of G17 mags that I guess I can trade for them. I do need to get a router soon...  I haven't been keeping track but I think I've spent about 6k in the last several months. I couldn't afford to stock up during salad days but made sure I had a bit more than the minimum. To me that is 10 mags per platform and 1k rounds each of pistol and rifle ammo. |

Quoted: Or is this short lived? Short lived. And Magpul and some other makers worked really hard to at least delay the onset of a repeat 2013-$60-pmag sort of mess. I have no doubt there are still gun guys out there who have procrastinated, or new gun people who will get the memo that they need more mags. But most of the newbies are still at the stage of "three mags is enough, right?", "but my Condor vest only holds 5 mags, why do I need more", "but I only own 60 rounds of ammo", and so on. Quoted: To me, having a significant cache of long-term ammo stored away is a “duh” thing. It’s a non-negotiable, just like having long-term food stored away. It's a normalcy bias problem. They don't think things can or will change. I warned several people about the need to buy ammo last year while it was still cheap. NONE of them did so. Now some of them have less than 40 rounds, and none have more than ~1/4 of a case. None of them can afford more than a handful of new rounds at current prices. Worse yet, some of them blew through most of their ammo shooting at cans and shit after the prices started skyrocketing, ignoring my warnings about what was happening./ |

Last summer I convinced a Fudd and his wife to get their first ever AR. So far so good. Now every time I talk to them I tell them to get more mags.
They keep saying, "We've got 10. Why do we need more than that?" When I tell them magazines wear out like tires and that they are expendable, hence necessitating the need for more, they kind of stare at me blankly like I have three eyes. |

Nothing wrong with having too many mags, but at a certain point it's about practically. For me, if someday I need to give them away, or sell them off fine, but if I can buy a 10 pack for a bit over a hundred bucks, I'm going to do it.
I didn't think ammo would be so hard to find, I don't shoot anything but 22 now, because I cannot replenish my stock, and I'm getting down to my last few thousand rounds or 22. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do you believe the run of the mill AR owner trains regularly? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: because despite the blah blah i lived through the first AWB bullshit from boomers that first go around, magazines dont get lost or broken anywhere NEAR as much as the fudds say they do. 10 PMAGs will last your run of the mill AR owner 50 fuckin years. If you train regularly, 10 mags will not last 50 years. Do you believe the run of the mill AR owner trains regularly? On training, Shooting enough rounds in training to wear out mags in what is coming is bordering on mental illness. Shooting at 99th percentile level is a perishable skill. Shooting at 80th is not, and is more than sufficient if you're not making stupid decisions. Having thousands and thousands of additional rounds is far more important than the diminishing returns you're going to get from ballistically excavating the berm. We are not going to split-time our way out of this mess. That's an even bigger level of masturbatory nonsense than buying thousands of dollars of multicam everything and not being able to run a mile, or owning 12 m4geries without having more than 2 weeks of food on hand. Of all the things I find surprising about what is going on now, it's the number of "I gotta shoot 1,000 rounds a month because muh training" people who got caught flat footed with their ammo supply, or who never gave any consideration as to how they'd need to adjust that to reflect reality if things actually started going downhill. The majority of them are just jerking it because they like to substitute the feeling of being a good shooter for actually being prepared in a meaningful manner. |

If your EG mags are in like-new condition (many of them were) you can easily fetch $50 per mag. Even if they’re “well-used” but they work you can get $25-$35 per mag. I bought my EG Bakelites in 2004 for $7.99/each. I had JUST missed them being on sale for $3.99/each. Back in the early 2000’s they could barely give these things away. I bought a bunch but wish I had bought hundreds. I think I got the pouch and accessories for an extra $4.99 per 4 mags purchased.

If any of these occur ammo prices will never return to the old “normal”. Or the prices will return, but actually being able to buy the ammo will be a full-on, paperwork-involved “process”. I’m certain there are people in the Biden Admin who are currently working hard to see exactly what they can do by EO and what must be legislated. I really do think this isn’t going to be like the Obama years. The new legislative and policy mantra under Biden is going to be “Go big or go home.” Obama was more of a policy wonk and technocrat. Biden is more of a “big picture” guy. For gun owners, that means Biden is actually a bigger threat for gun owners than Obama was. And trust me...with things like bans on imported ammo (which makes up a LOT of the supply) 75% of the public won’t care. I.e., Biden will have enough political cover to pull it off. So yeah...I would worry about ammo. (Although not me personally. I’m good for quite awhile. )

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m honestly not sure what you’re arguing/trying to say. Although it sounds like a straw man argument in any regard because in that post I didn’t say a word about magazines The people who stockpile shit already have magazines. The people who don't aren't buying magazines either. My original post had an emoji for a reason.

Heads up. It’s coming. AIM has 5.56 mags up the yin-yang. As do a few other retailers. |
