As I expected. The more the reality of the incoming regime sets in. The more it will get worse. Certainly we have all seen the drying up of ammo and loading components of late. Magazines will be next. This in mind I reviewed my stock recently and am pretty satisfied with it. The one exception being that I wanted to get a few more mags for the Mini -14.

To date I have had little luck in this regard. I am guessing that Mag Pul P-mags will be around for a while as they are piled up in pretty much every store that you go into. Not sure though as I have been staying out of gun stores and pretty much any other store for that matter lately.

If you need any, best get them while you can!

I'm noticing it as well. The peg hooks at Cabelas are all empty, and when I bought some mags online I decided to go back and get some more only to find they were out of stock. Since a mag-cap ban is high on the antis' agenda I guess we shouldn't be too surprised.

When there's panic buying on Hoppes and cleaning patches too then we'll know we're royally screwed.

Damn... I totally forgot to grab a few more 40 round pmags the other day when I was at the store...

I guess that you are good on mags then. Maybe you should tell us now what.

Now you just sit back and smuggly post snarky comments about how everyone should have been prepared. 😉

If you have firearms that those mags fit in and the calibers match, go shooting.

I think you need around 750 more mags to load that ammo.

I usually only have about 5 magazines per weapon. The exception would be high-use firearms or when I have multiple weapons that take the same magazines. I have a couple dozen AR and 1911 mags, for example. The rest of my guns are mostly just range toys and I probably will never wear their mags out.

Do you have any guns?

Good idea. I'll do just that myself. 🙂 I've always gotten at least 20 so-called high capacity magazines for every firearm I own. Unless they're revolvers, in which case I only buy 10 speed loaders for each.

Way back when I was a Navy Ordnanceman assigned to a good-size base armory (Station Ordnance) , we got orders to pack up and ''dispose of'' all the 20rd M-16 mags. 🤫There were probably millions of them. Some brand new in original packaging.

Hi,
I was just being "funny"!

I keep seeing on these Forums, People bragging about mag and stockpiled round count...

Like it is a contest or something?

You don't need 500 mags and 50,000 rds. of ammo cause...

If something does happen, it's going to be like a Samurai sword fight.

Short and sweet!

If you live through your initial load-out, you will be fortunate to be able to make it back to where you stashed your next one...

 

[tractor]

Even ten round mags are drying up after the first price hike.......

By the numbers and simple facts you should have killed or have won before you are half way through your first 7 mags. If you actually use your first full mag you are doing great

That is a pretty simplistic way of looking at it. And certainly this will not be the case for every sort of engagement. Full on face to face on a level field, this might occur. But on an insurgency basis you are wrong. There are any number of contingencies that you have not taken in your consideration of this. Just sayin.
