How many more mags do I need for the current allocation of fire arms

I Have:

4 AR15s (Noveske, Larue, Bushmaster, Beowulf)
30 USGI Mags 30 Rounders + 5 Modified (5 rounders and 10 rounders for Beo)

3 M14/M1A (1 SAI and 2 LRBs)
20 USGI Mags 20 Rounds + 5 Knock off 20 rounders + a couple of 5 rounders for hunting

FN Five Seven
4 20 Rnders

Glock 21
1 13 Rnder, 5 10 Rnders

XD 45 ACP
2 13 Rnders


So I think I am set on AR Mags and M14 Mags, but hive mind could always convince more.

I think I could use some more Pistol Mags, but not sure if there's a good 'rule of gun" for pistol mags...

Regardless of election and ban implications I would like your guys opinions...

there is never enough mags for weapons, the things wear out or get damaged.

right now AIM and 44mag have a pretty good deal running on ar15 mags if you wanted to grab a few.  Under 10 bucks a mag.  I picked up 5 even though I dont currently own an AR.  But you have a decent amount right now.

eta:  you definitely need more pistol mags.  I like a minimum of 4 per pistol, but like I said the more the merrier.

eta2:  wtf are you doing with hi caps in CA?

You can have Hi Caps in CA you just cant have them in your gun if it has a PG.

Also I am sure the OP meant "Replacement parts" for his magazines not that he would knowingly break the law by bringing more Hi Caps into Cali.

My personal opinion is to have a minimum of 10 mags per rifle and minimum of 5 per pistol. But you can never have to many.

You need more pistol mags, that's obvious.  Have at least 4-5.  If you can afford 2-3 more after that, do it.  Being a CA resident will make that tough.   I used to live in Mass, and finding beat up pre-94 OEM hi cap pistol mags was hard enough.

This is the general rule i try to follow as well. Although I often find myself going way under like with my ps90 mags (2) or way over like with my g3 mags (100+) depending on the individual cost. OP, You need at least 10 more ar mags and some pistol mags too.
