Fellow magwhores not willing to post their 300+ mag collections anymore??? Given the current bans being proposed, maybe not... Well, I can understand... (...just saying that we're not seeing those huge stashes as much in this thread. But one could say that 100 mags today would almost cost as much as 300 mags bought a year ago.)

Where did your pics go? The comments would suggest your collection is epic, but last I read through the thread, most of your post had been edited. |

Getting all my mags together for a picture would be out of the question. I keep them at multiple locations, caches and bottom of several lakes.

So after having gear spread across 3 states, dealing with multiple deployments, moves, etc... I finally moved into a house last month and it has given me the chance to open every duffel bag, tough box, and rubbermaid container that I have stored stuff in over the past 5 or 6 years. I think I am good on mags now. Here's the breakdown: 8 Gen 1 PMags - Windowesd 16 Gen 1 PMags - Non-Window 3 Gen 2 PMags - WIndowed 9 Gen 2 PMags - Non-Window 1 NHMTG Mag 1 H&K Mag 18 D&H Mag 1 Surefire-60 Also I have a Colt-20 rounder that I came across somewhere that isn't pictured. I also now have a dedicated mag locker with a Plano Sportsman's Trunk. Before the consolidation, I got a little caught up in the mag buying frenzy and have 20 more .223 PMags on the way (10 Gen 2, 10 Gen 3) plus 5 .308 PMags and a 3 pack of the Troy BattleMags on the way. The .308 PMags I don't really consider panic buys since I only have one .308 mag for my M&P10. Not trying to show off what I have since I know there are many members on here that have many more than I do. I just needed to see them all together for me to realize that I don't need to buy any more mags, unless there is a deal out there to be had If the Plano case ever gets filled I will say I have enough. Have added 10 more PMAGS (Gen 2, Blk non-windowed), 3 C-Products, and a Microtech XM-17 just to test it out since I took this picture. Those back ordered mags are still on back order |

I'm content with my stash.
5x G2 PMAG30 5x G2 PMAG30 Windowed 5x G3 PMAG10 5x G3 PMAG20 5x G3 PMAG30 25 total mags is more than enough for my needs. Only reason I see keeping 100+ mags around is if I'm gonna stand my ground at my house, but I don't see that kind of situation ever coming up. |

Are you comfortable that 25 mags would last you the rest of your life? What if starting tomorrow you could never buy another AR mag. As the saying goes, buy it cheap, stack it deep. |

Stand your ground against looters I hope you mean. There's an endless supply of gubberment thugs that will be at your door if need be. So you can't stand up against those guys.

I have 10 30rd mags for each on my ARs. I don't feel it necessary for me to have any more than that in any scenario.

That puts me at just under 400 mags. |

I have to admit, that up until this last panic, I felt that I had enough with 28 30 rounders and 20 20rounders(all pre-ban)...but that being said, I purchased another 22 30rounders when the prices dropped several weeks ago. The D&H mags are my favorite and PSA has some great deals. Also picked up a couple of PMags since everyone talks them up so much. Plus several more 20 rounders from Brownells. Yes, I feel I have enough to last me my lifetime and my kids'.

True. I'm just using the old military standard that loading 30 compresses the spring too much. Probably totally false, but just erring on the side of caution. |

I will make it a habit to grab 3 or 4 at every gun show I attend. I would not call that "hoarding" but I do not want to see what happened this year again.
When they hit 60.00 a piece, I told myself that I will stock up when the prices come down. Id say a personal supply of 50 would suffice, Im probably half way there. The prices have started to come down and the supply is looking better. |

Mags are an expendable, buy em cheap now.

I guess with 3, I wouldn't be a hoarder? I sold 6 to a friend who I assumed needed them until he told me he has 100 30-round Pmags and is not even sure if he has 15 or 16 AR's.

Brother dont feel bad, us subject are not allowed to touch any mag over 10 rounds any more. The empire strikes back! |
