AR Mag Madness?!?!

[broox]

Okay, so on Craigslists and here in the classifieds I see people trying to sell 30 round AR mags for 30 or 40 bucks. Are people really paying that much?

[musicman]

A co-worker paid $100 for a Colt AR mag from CTD last week. 

 

Yea.  They are paying $30-40 for mags.  That's actually not as obscene.  I paid $20 for a few a couple weeks ago.  A couple months ago I paid $12 each.  I'd buy more at $20 each right now.

I don't know, but I sold 10 of them for $15/each earlier today. I think they sold in about 5 minutes.

[Lumber_Jack]

I'm not paying that much, but yes sadly people are. I think it's stupid to pay more than they were marked 3 weeks ago

5-Pmag black w/windows on GB for $200.00  :rant:

If you think AR mags are high, count your blessings you don't have a mini 14!

I just got a dozen 30 rd steel ar mags from Mako Group.  Well made, nice finish ( a little shiny for my taste, but nice), anti-tilt followers.

 

I can't get them to seat with 30 loaded, on a closed bolt.  With 28, they seat with a slap to the mag.  Seat fine with open bolt, no rattle, no slop.  Drop free.

 

Less than 20 a pop.

 

  I won't post a link, but google is your friend.  I have no connection with them other than having ordered mags.  The really nice thing about these is that they are in stock and shipping daily.

 

 

This has been a public service announcement from Starship Hulls LTD and Garands-R-Us.

I would love to buy Pmags for $14 like I did before CT but even then, some places had a regular price of $20. To me, is a Pmag worth a $20 bill? Yep. So if I needed a couple extra at $30 or $40 now, I would pay it, just wouldn't smile quite so big. That being said, I would NOTpay $85 and up as some have lately, I will leave that to the rich, needy, or dumb, whichever describes the buyer.

last week i bought 3 mags off line for 14.99 a piece...sadly hes sold out... also week before i found g23 mags for 19.99 hes sold out now too

I watched a Gunbroker listing a couple weeks ago for 100 PMags go for $4700 and thought Wow!  That's almost a 400% increase in less than 1 month.  We could have bought them from Brownells during their 10 for $99 sale before Christmas.

[Sniper23]

I bought several ar 30rd mags today for $15 each

[mike243]

I only have 1 30rd so far but need/want a 10rd for hunting or bench shooting trying ammo/sights.meant to pick 1 up but then this stupid stuff started & cant find 1 without ordering,hopefully this wont last long :yuck:

I have a handfull of slightly used 30 round AR mags that I can part with. Im not trying to make 1000's of dollars but I am asking $12.00 each

You might want to get a benefactor status before you try to make an ad like this and if you are trying to sell Uncle Sam's mags ... that's illegal and not welcome here.

Foresight is always better than hindsight.  Shoulda, coulda, woulda...

[East_TN_Patriot]

Yes, I would like some OD green Pmags to go with the OD furniture on my AR that I recently installed.  I don't see that happening anytime soon unless I paint the black ones I already have.

If I knew in advance I would have been rich off the stock market, lotto, knowing where all the gold and oil is at as well, etc. :wave:

 

Then it wouldn't bother me what a mag cost, everything I own would be belt fed and bought before 1986. :yuck:
