The only mags I have got in bulk were AR mags, never more than 10 at a time.Except when I went to the LGS and wanted 6 of the AK74 mags at $20 each, and they said "take the whole box at $10 a piece" then I bought 12 of the black Bulgarian AK74 mags you see in the AK74 mag photo, maybe 4 years ago.
I sold some mags off last month, what you see here is what's left... AR mags: 
More, with some M16/9mm mags too... 
H&K MP5 Mags: 
Then there's the UZI mags, .22, 9mm, 45: 
Ruger 10/22 
FAL/STG-58: 
GSG-5 and GSG-522 
AK47 and AK74: 
Saiga-12:

I don't have any pics of the whole collection, but here's a pic of my "ready mag" shelf:
I didn't notice until I uploaded the picture, but there are 87 mags there........ All the USGI have Magpul followers and I have a bunch more PMags and USGI. Got more Lancers too. A sharp eye will spot the 1911 and Sig mags on the top of the pile. I'm just a mag slut compared to some of you guys. |

I really need to have more ammo, I have neglected that side of the equation. I have less than 40,000 rounds of ammo, not nearly enough.

I was 3 when the first AWB went through. Since it ended in 2004 I've been buying lots of mags. Just because we are young doesn't mean we can't study/learn from history. I'm not trying to be a tool but I think anyone who lived through the 2008 rush has an idea of what its like to not be able to get anything. When I buy a new gun I start buying parts/mags because you never know when you won't be able to get them ever again. The second thing I learned was to always buy parts that are high quality. KCI glock mags might be avaliable abd work for a while but factory glock mags are way better. Don't every buy knockoffs of the real deal. |

I have a ways to go but I think it's a good start. All in all I have about 40. But you know how that goes, find one in the car under the seat, couch cushion, etc so that number probably fluctuates by 2 or 3 at any given time 
Mostly USGI, only 3 pmags. 2 thermolds. Also have some mag bodies that don't have internals. Have an order for 10 windowed and 10 non M3's at DSG so I'm working at remedying my lack of pmags. I just want some damn M3's in FDE. Oh well guess I'll have to get some of those too when they start churning em out

This is some of my Garand clips and -03 clips.
One of the cartridge belts is an original WWII the other is from the 60's. I know I am a little light my pile but I gifted about 300 Garand clips this past Christmas. I am sure by the end of the year I will be back in the 4-500 range as they seem to breed like Tribbles. As for the 03 clips. I have about 2-300 of them both Brass and Steel. Some have one or both tabs busted off. But their still useful as long as you know what your doing.  Oh yeah those Damn cardboard covers are worth a few bucks now. But when their stacked like cord wood its time to get rid of them. So they went with the clips. Ed |

I have plenty of mags for my handguns, but only 12, 30 round magpul PMAGs. For 2 ARs. I'm such an idiot!!!! Now it's too late. The only place I've been about to find any is at Cheaper Than Dirt...for $99!?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh well, at least I have a decent ammo stash. Not nearly as much as some, but a good start. I have 8000 rounds for my ARs (4000 rounds of XM193 and 4000 rounds of M855). Plus most of my handguns are .45s and I have around 3500 rounds of .45, 6000 rounds of .22LR, plus a couple thousand rounds for each of my other calibers.

Well, it's nowhere near some of the other collections shown here... but it's a start. Hopefully I can continue adding to it when the craze dies down... I'm not gonna pay today's prices for them. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8090/8449944638_118607c3ed_b.jpg 38 30rd PMAGs 3 20rd PMAGs 5 13rd XD45 mags 3 10rd Ruger Mark I/II mags 1 10rd 597 mag 1 old-ass 25ACP mag Please explain your numbering system. Why is there a 1 and a 1A, 16 and 16A, etc. instead of just plain old 1,2,3,4.... |

Well, as I got close to 20, I realized that I maybe didn't necessarily want to advertise the number of magazines I own, so after 20 I started with 1A. I will continue to do so, to keep others guessing, rather than be at the range with a mag with 143 on it and have people saying, "Holy crap do you really have 143 magazines?" |

Should have changed colors - blue 1,2,3, etc. Now they will think you have at least 26 + whatever non alphanumeric number is on a mag. If they see 12a, 9b, and 15c, they will know you are replete with Pmags. |

You guys make me feel like a noob
I knew my girlfriend was wrong to tease me about how many I have.
Half are loaded, half are not. Like many, I'm waiting until after the craze to continue building my stock. $40-100 for a pmag is stupid. Chasing ammo is more important to me right now. However, I can't turn down mags if I find them at a good price. Unfortunately that doesn't happen right now.
