Actually - I have a project AR-15 that I put together from a stag lower, stag complete upper (i swear, it was a coincidence) and dpms trigger group. It doesn't like USGI mags one bit (FTF, FTE, etc) but I've never had a single problem when using orlites. The ones that AIM has (the mag-790s) work amazing in my AR-15, I just bought another 10 of them (I'm at somwehere around 20).
I repeat - my Stag 15 hates USGI mags. And I'm not just talking cheap ones, It doesnt like them at all.
For 9 bucks a mag, how can you lose?

Keep buying folks. Buy as much as you can. Buy extras so that you can sell them at a healthy profit after the enactment of another AWB. Buy. Buy. Buy.
Increases in purchasing like this is what keeps our firearms industry strong and viable. We spend more money, they make more products. Furthermore, if the market is saturated with high capacity magazines after (if) another AWB is enacted prices should remain a little lower for a while since there'll be a ton of supply.
Magazines are just like Doritos --they'll make more!

funny. assembled magazines are still everywhere...
and even if they werent, you can still buy rebuild kits from a hundred different places at a good price. whats stopping you from doing that? saves money, at the downside of having to assemble it yourself.
(oh no, not 10 seconds of your time)
can we stop the BS now?

Ha. I was talking to a guy who worked at Sportsmans Warehouse yesterday, and guess what he said.
He said a guy had come in two days ago and bought EIGHT guns. That's right EIGHT. There were like two AR's, four handguns, and two other long guns (of which he didn't remember). He said that guy's total bill was a whopping $4,200!
If only I had that money.

Mags are so hard to get...
...that it took me almost 5 minutes to find some. I just bought some 30-rd and 20-rd AR mags from the DPMS web site, and the UPS tracking e-mail they sent me shows that it was shipped out the same day I placed the order.

My rationale for picking up a few more mags in the next couple months is that if some of the ones I have stop working in a political environment where I can't just go out and pick up a replacement, it will be nice to have a few extra laying around.

The prices are only going to go UP and the suply is going to go DOWN. Its up to you to decide when to jump in to the magizne market.
It is not about what I need or can use, it is about what I want and can get. Right now the only stupid purchase is the one that you don't make. If you buy mags at todays prices you can always sell them later for about what you payed for them. If you lose 1.00, it will not be a total loss. Pmags are still 13.50 or so at 44mag.com and the cproducts are much cheaper then that. Hell, the ss mags are 12.50 and they will last a lifetime. RG

FTW. Easily the best comment in this thread.
But I ordered a suppressor on Sat, just in case...
ar mags
I recently purchased standard AR 20/30 round mags for my PLR from Brownells
that cured my PLR feeding problems. At $18/mag plus a C&R discount makes them about $13/each. They support gun rights, I support them and so far they haven't raised prices. Georgia Arms also has not raised ammo prices but are severly back logged. Great companies.

I wouldnt think most of the members here at THR went down that road, but perhaps Im wrong... either way, it's their right to vote whatever way they choose... one of the benefits of living here.
That being said, if one did vote for BHO, then they would have NO ROOM for gripe about the upcoming [and contrary to many of the overly optimistic folks on here] bans, laws, and regulations.
And make no mistake about it, despite the insensable and popular head burying and wishing away... 1994 will make what's coming seem like an NRA rally.
I have wrote to my elected officals, and those that I did not elect, and I encourage for you all to do the same, however, dont stake much faith in it. Case in point, the public outcry against the 'bailout' a few months back was probably the most verbal I have ever seen on any issue, upwards of 9 out of 10 people according to most of the major news media outlets, however you see that it passed... 'for our own good.'
For me optimism is something I dont have the luxury of possessing.

Everyone knew Obama was against guns. Yet there are alot of supporters here for BHO. While it is their right to vote as they see fit, it is my right to point out what has happened from their vote.
I doubt most will learn but it takes a constant effort to keep it in everyones attention if you want to save our rights.

Where have you seen support for BHO on this site?
I, for one, have not seen one bit of support.

Personally, I'm all for it.
The more AR's and high capacity magazines there are in circulation, the better off we all are.
A bazillion AR's sitting a warehouse won't be doing anyone any good.
But a bazillion Ar's floating around in the hands of the American population...
Now that goes a long way toward a little thing Heller mentioned to the effect of "common use".
So even if the price is high, buy as many as you can afford and be happy you have them.

You know for years after seatbelt laws were voted in I never talked to a person who voted for them. I travel alot for many years and alway the same answer, "I didn't vote for seatbelt laws"
Everyone here who voted for BHO has voted for socialism and more gun restrictions. Try reading post other than your own.
People are paying the high prices because they can see the future, get it now while you can.
