Went by one of the local surplus shops in Anchorage, AK today and was just browsing around looking for stuff to go in my BOB and spotted some Colt 20-Round AR-15/M-16 magazines. In Alaska, these magazines normally go for around $20-25 each, especially if they are in very good condition as these are. These looked to be in extraordinarily nice shape. The followers in particular were like NEW. The finish looked to be at about 90-95%. Absolutely no rust and/or corrosion. The kicker is, I scored them for $5 each. Lower 48 pricing is probably about right, but that's a great deal for Alaska. With this purchase, it brings my magazine count up to 291 magazines. I really don't need that many, but I do have 8 completed AR's and 1 AR lower waiting on a new upper. So what do you think, good deal or not?

| I bought all that he had set out. Went back in in Friday and asked if they had any more. The kid running the shop brings out a 7 pack box of COLT 20-Rounder that looked to be brand new old stock. I asked him how much and the price was now $15 each. I told him I only paid $5 each the previous weekend. He said that" whoever sold them at that price was wrong".. Ya think!! Anyway the price now stands at $15 each. Maybe I'll wait and go back when the original clerk is back. Then I might be able to score again. If not, well, I did make out on the ones I did buy!! |

Even at 15.00 a mag its a good deal if you can get the complete 7 mag box with packaging. |

Unfortunately the seller wouldn'g budge on the price. I paid him the $15 each. I'm happy though. They are in BRAND NEW condition. Will post some addtional pics if anyone wants to see them. |
