What can be done about insanely expensive mags??

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What can be done about insanely expensive mags??

Posted: 10/13/2004 11:06:56 AM EDT

With ruger, and colt leaving us cold (whether as part of a long term plan of theirs to not piss off washington or on purpose to screw us - whatever) What in the f$#k can be done?

letter writing ain't gonna do crap, boycotting is NEVER gonna happen to two quality companies - plus the RKBA community coulnd't do that - and the other mag manufacturers either can't, won't or aren't doing anything worthwhile bout it!

Theonly great news that I've seen is that EAA started selling factory saiga hi-caps. For yo no-banners - how good does that feel! I WANT THAT FEELING!!!!!

My ar9mm and mini14 demand factory hi-caps. (okay, other peoples need new ones so i can buy their old ones.....)

Form a company and manufactiure your own mags and sell them at the price you'd like to pay.
Get rich, make a name for yourself, undercut the competition, shake up the current players.

I have 4 (pre-ban for y'all) Mini-14 mags I will trade you.

I have no need for them as I do not have a Mini-14.

Just IM me if you are interested.

In terms of the mini14 I got it for 350. preban underfolder.

You could sell me a piece of feces if it is a preban underfolder for 350. again and again and again.

Ruger never made a factory underfolder. Even the GB type, which was made only under .gov contract were side folders.

Ok, but you gotta pay shipping.

obviously, my underfolder must then be an aftermarket stock..... next we gotta work on cold fusion. Bunch of fucking geniiuses here. (go on - genii)

And don't forget to become a class II manufacturer while your at it...then your company can buy all the brand-spankin'-new full auto guns you've always wanted, P90's, whatever...for research and development. And then the company writes off those purchases as a business expense and you pay yourself a consulting fee for testing those firearms.

Your underfolder is a old Federal Ordnance unit. Got one on my truck gun; barrel chopped to 16.25", Millett peep sight, great compact unit. Granted, it's a "minute of pie plate" gun, but for a truck beater it does just fine. As far as mags go, check out Thermold mags. I've been using them for years in my Mini, never had a single malfunction.

i take it my barrel ain't 16 inches then? I want to cut it even shorter and then make up the difference with a muzzle brake. But then comes the wisdom of putting money into a beater.

The ban will not sunset, there is no way. Just buy all the preban mags now before they all rust away.

You should definetely paint it black with a red stripe on it to match the van....

Don't forget your cigar either!

Natchez has Promag polymer 20 and 30 rd Mini-14 mags in their October sale catalog, also AR-15 9mm 32 rd polymer. However they also hava a disclaimer, " The high capacity magazines listed on this page are subject to delivery by the manufacturers".
