Wow, Even 10/22 10 Round Mags?

[Oh Shoot]

Not that I needed any, but what is the deal here?

 

Just noticed 10 round 10/22 mags not to be had anywhere retail, and going for like 40 clams on eBay?

 

I mean, this is not even close to being on any banned list? People are crazier than I imagined.

Try finding a 25 round 10/22 mag lol.

 

I dont get it either, like you said its not like the 10 rounders will be banned, except in NY anyhow..

You talking about the BX-25's or the smaller ones?

 

EDIT:  Noticed you said round (thought you forgot to mention round count before)

 

BX-25's are even harder to come by :(

The only thing I can figure is people are stocking up on accessories for all semi-autos in case that type of firearm is banned. I hope we recover from this twilight zone soon.

I know about the 25 rounders, been that way for a while, and I understand that, but I'm talking about the standard 10 round rotary mags. Blow your mind to check out completed auctions on eBay for them. Got me curious, and sure enough, don't see any at retailers unless they're sky high too.

I guess that's the only explanation. Guess it makes sense, since you can't hardly find the 10/22 itself either, so all those new owners also need mags of whatever capacity they can get.

I've given up looking for mags in general.

 

I'll take a peek at new gear classified's here, but nothing really seems to tickle my fancy at these prices :)

 

Prices will eventually fall back to earth, I'm just afraid it will be MONTHS and not weeks from now :(

I don't see this getting better in months,  a couple of years maybe.  And every shooting from now on will bring more threats of gun bans.  This cycle just got started.

One can never have enough magazines but I should be ok for a long time. Hopefully things will start returning to normal in the next 6 months but who knows how long it might actually take.

A very true worry for me!

Big ones (25 or 30's) were $40 at the show yesterday. There was a good supply and as said in another thread it looked like stocks are starting to trickle back in so I'd just hold out a little while longer.

I just found a 25 rounder I forgot I had bought. Lucky for me.

Ruger factory BX-25? If  so, you could make some real money on GunBroker reselling from that price.

 

10 rounders are often going for around that.

 

Since you say "25 or 30's" I suspect those were mostly Butler Creek and Eagle and whatever?

See what I mean? Even half that amount is amazing.

It's just not threats of a ban they will bring.  Everyone really needs to pay close attention to what New York just passed.  Every State can enact whatever gun laws they like, they do not need to wait for Washington.

Yep, and as long as they are allowed to own some kind of firearm that holds more than one round, I'm pretty sure current SCOTUS will approve. And of course, the future SCOTUS might not even allow that second round.

I purchase a two pack of the 10 round Ruger rotary magazines on EBAy for $38.00 to the door.

Yep, that was the normal price. You could get 4 packs from Cabela's for even a bit less before the reelection, and probably even up until Sandy Hook.

 

I have maybe 8 BX-25's, too, $21.99 was most I ever paid.

 

Butler Creek steel lip 25 rounders were down to $15 after Ruger put out the BX-25, saw the plastic lipped versions for ten clams flat.

It is crazy what the prices of mags are up to.

Mags will soon be worth more than the guns Edited January 21, 2013 by swim615

[LngRngShtr]

Cant believe i am actually saying this but

 

I made room in my safe for all my mags after i priced out the replacement costs

 

I can remember the old army/Navy Surplus store having  5 Gal. buckets full of 30 rnd. AR mags and couldn't give them away

 

Oh for a weeks pay and a time machine ...
