44mag.com has good price for mags. 9.97 for a 30 round grey teflon mag is good in my book.

Congrats, it should be a good one!
I remember my first one, I crawled around GI style for weeks with that thing. . . . I have had her slung beside me every weekend for the past yeear now. . . . I just bought my first Bushy last weekend! I bought mags here on the Equipment Exchange, they are flawless and I love them. Try your local guns shows as well.  Congrats. . . . it won't be your only AR-15. . . . it grows like a plague in your brain now. . . . especially if you hang out with these guys all the time.. . . they know everything and they don't ever say "nah you don't need that part, or you don't really need another gun. . . . and never EVER will you see the words "you should listen to your wife" on here either LOL! |

I feel so sorry for you. You are now hopelessly infected with BRD for which there is no known cure. Your only hope is to buy as many black rifles as you can afford, more if possible, stockpile hundred of magazines and untold thousands of rounds of ammo. I too started out like you and now I'm on my second safe in a gunroom piled high with 2 of everything in the Midway USA catalog. We meet in our 12 step program group regularly.
btw, congrats on your first black rifle. more will follow. |

Congratulations but "this thread is worthless without pics".
 For magazines, Bravo Company USA in the Equipment Exchange has mags for $8.59 per mag if you buy a 10-pack. Seems shipping was also cheap but I don't see it in the ad. ETA: 2nd page of ad, towards the bottom in response to a question about shipping, it's $5.95. They're also in Wisconsin so they aren't too far away from you. Good luck and happy shooting, Scott |

crazy child thats not a sad thing at all! I got my firs AR like a whole 8 months ago and I haven't had the funds to acquire another :(. Also a side effect of BRD is a strange obsession to whore as much ammo as possible in conventiently transported cases also packed with dehydrated food and other supplies necesary for survival when the SHTF arrives. Just thought i'd give you a heads-up, at first I didn't recognize the symptoms. |

i overpaid for the mags, it was too hard not to buy them when they were right in front of me, i loaded 30 in each one today and they all functioned great, i need to start buying ammo in bulk, buying by the box is getting expensive!

I pruchased some mags from www.magpul.com with enhanced followers and ranger base plates. They are great mags.
I also have some HK Maritime magazines. These are the best that you can get, but don't see the need to have something that good or expensive. Personally, I look at it like, some people don't think you need an AR when a pistol will do... or a H1 Hummer vs. an El Camino. If you have a chance, get a GI mag, a GI mag with Magpul follower and a HK Maritime mag and compare them yourself. Hardwarz |

Just be sure u know what bulk you are buying. If it's army 3rds, dont touch it. If it's loosely packed, dont touch it. If it has never seen a rigid container per lot, dont touch it unless its Guatemalan bulk or South African bulk. No ammo made by Wolf should be considered fit for hunting or any activity where high quality, consistent, and clean-shooting loads are required. However Wolf is fine for plinking and contrary to the opinions of some, the steel cases will take their toll about 40,000 rounds after your barrel needs replacing anyway. Those rules are fairly general but will keep you safe from damaging products in the long run. However thats just my .02 cents and for more detailed, accurate, and useful imformation on ammo consult the ammo oracle. EDIT: eeew stay away from those USGI mags. Comparing them to the HK mags is like comparing an AR to a packet of peanuts-- it just isnt fair to the USGI mags/peanuts. But yes the HK mags are very very very nice. However for economic practicality stick to the teflon coated mags with Magpul followers and ranger plates and throw in silicon wire springs if they aren't in there already. After those upgrades the HK mag will be just as nice in stead of superior, finish and exterior looks aside. |
