I really don't.  I quit buying AR mags cuz I only use about 5 of them with any regularity.

The other 20-30 will last me a damn long time at this rate.

Yeah I have about 50 mags and Im only 19 and have only started buying them 6 months ago and still keep on buying them.  I tell myself they wont make these teflon coated mags anymore even if the AWB expires so I got get cheap while I can.

I am not a mag whore.  I only have 30-40 unused AR mags sitting in the safe, the other dozen see constant use....

***Step one to recovery, admit you have a problem.***

I'm thinking about stocking up though, "Just in case".

My addiction is 20 rounders but I only use 30 rounders.  I buy mostly 20 rounders because my thinking is that even if when the ban sunsets that no one will make the GI 20 rounders.

It's an AR-15 right?  Seems pretty intuative.....

15 mags for the range, 15 mags for checking action, 15 mags for varminting, 15 mags for long term storage, 15 mags in case they stop making 'em, 15 mags for home defense, 15 mags for zombies, 15 mags if SHTF, 15 mags "just in case", .....

Okay rifle #1 covered.  Now lets talk about # 2.....

I'm up to 31 20-rounders and 32 30-rounders.  I'll buy one to five magazines every gun show when I can find a good deal.  Just got three more 30-rounders this weekend for $10 each.  Finish is only about 10-20%, one had a green follower but all had solid tabs and perfect feed lips.  I don't think I'll ever stop buying magazines.

Holy cow!  I'm in awe of you true addicts.

I have 13 USGI 30 rounders and 6 USGI 20 rounders and my friends think I have gone overboard!

Damn, what the hell do you need 200 mags for?  I guess that is from the money you save on birth control so your wife can bear you a platoon to use all those mags!

I just ordered 10 SA80 mags.  I can feel it coming over me!  I'm already deciding whether to buy more when I get the 20" complete rifle.

I had 30 rounders before I ever got my first AR,50 and still buying..927

Hmmm...

I have 11 30 rounders.  I keep 'em in the three mag pouches so I need to pick up one more.

That would give me 12.  Four pouches loaded.  'Course I would need another for the rifle.

If I had 13...well that's an unlucky number so better get another.

That would put me at 14.  Just one shy of five pouches.

Then I would need one for the gun.  That would make 16.

But if one broke I would need a spare.  So 17 would be enough.

Except that would be an odd number to manage.  18 would fit in six pouches.  That would be better.

Then I need one for the gun....Then there are the 20 rounders....

you are correct there my friend, i just bought a lot of 36, 20's & by damn if there weren't about 6 of those mags that look new, there is no mag well scratches on them & the followers have no marks on them at all.., ooooooh, i forgot, i have 7 brand new Adventure Lines in the box.

Got over two  three footlockers full of various mags.  Just added some more SVD and AK 30 and 40 round mags.

I have something like 25 of the 30-rounders.  Honestly, that is far more than I "need" but about as many as I want.  I have most of them loaded up with XM193 and in a handy shoulder-bag.  But really, I only use a few of those 25 mags.  I think that the mag whores...you know who you are....("hundreds of mags are not enough")....well you guys are just plain and simply nucking futts.  I mean, you would be a hell of a lot smarter to buy and horde gold instead of AR mags....

But Nucking Futts is as Nucking Futts does....and it's all relative.

Bottom line #1 is that I am glad that we can own them, and bottom line #2 is..........the decision is ours to make!!  Yipeee! h.gif

Megistopoda,

You need to read more about how our "elected officals" are trying to ban ARs.  It is very realistic that civilian ownership of ARs is drawing to a near.  Do you really thing that 25 mags is a lifetime supply - when (not if) the law states that civilains can no longer purchase or otherwise transfer ownership of AR magazines ????

Please lurk over here (link below) for a while.  No flame friend, just mean to help to "open your eyes"

I have (42) USGI 30rds
           (13) Thermolds 30rds
           (10) Orlites 30rds
            (5) Thermold 20rds

I have (3) AR's, and I don't feel like that's near enuff mags.......or AR's!

I'd like to buy 20-30 more USGI 30rds after the AWB sunsets!

I can't control myself when it comes to mags, I've got 56 Glock mags!

I bought my first AR15 mags 3 month ago. Due to importing costs I bought 20 mags at once with the intention to sell 10 and make some money but ... arghhh ... somehow I can't bring myself to sell even one mag!!! And to make it worse, I think about buying another 20 ...

i somehow found a pleasure in developing different techniques for blosking 30 rounders to 5.  just make my stupid government unknowingly happy.

39 30 round USGI´s (5 very used range mags, 34 like new)
11 20 round (1 range mag and 20 brand new in box)

Can never have to many. I only have 10 30 rounders and 3 20 rounders - 13 mags.

ACK! Thats an unlucky number. I better buy, oh, 20 more?

My problem is I'm also supporting a Glock full cap and M1A full cap habit... and Paras...

It gets pretty bad, especially when you have traded actual functioning firearms for magazines.

WOW.  I think that almost qualifies as "rock bottom" bro.  When you catch yourself selling your body for mags, seek professional help.

I got that pack many many years ago and I am not sure from where.  All I remember was the mags where under $2.50 wholesale at the time.  And the mags are still rusting in that bag.
