Where is everyone using them? I only use them to capacity when I go to Military establishments, otherwise I usually use the 10rd mags at kokohead since it's 5rds rule...
-
I've seen people using the 30rd standard capacity mags at Koko Head and Magnum.
-
i use em at koko head.
-
haven't you been watching the news?
30rd mags are so that you can fire over 2 rounds per second and kill as many people as possible while reloading fewer times
:)
i mean, i don't know why anyone would buy 30rd mags
i don't own any and i certainly won't any once they are banned
because that would be illegal
and as responsible gun owners we all follow applicable gun laws

Ya, so they say... ;)
I was just wondering if there's a spot besides Magnum to load to capacity.

LOL!
Who said anything about using them? Only a few are buying to have just in case...most, if not all (that have bought cheap) are just short term "investing" and doubling-quadrupling their money.

Agreed. I have 3 pmags (2 unopened) for that reason. I use one 30rd pmag and one 10rd of unknown brand at Koko Head. I might get another 10rd mag and leave all my pmags at home but really have no need for more 30rd pmags other than to sell for a profit if I find some cheap ones and laugh at the fools panic buying.

yep. most people are just buying them so they can flip them at 4-500% profit.
cant blame them. at least people here werent prospecting on us.
my friend just said he saw some guy on ebay or somthing selling THREE pmags for 550.
i mean, for real, guys?

I see the point being made. Luckily, I had "stocked up" prior to elections and didn't run into the problem of finding ar mags. I was hoping that someone might turn me on to another shooting range (even though I kinda know there's nothing else). I like to do rapid firing/mag dumps once in a while(cuz ammo is expensive) and I'm just trying to find another place to go. Magnums is just so expensive for the type of shooting I like to do, but it's convenient. With everyone buying 30 rounders I was thinkin I can't be the only one in my predicament....right?
-
There is clearly a market for people or businesses to buy/hoard/sell items that will yield huge dividends down the road. That's what occurs and capitalism in the works...nothing wrong with forsight and making a few bucks along the way. I would imagine most collectors already have what they need. Most of the old timers learned their lesson from the first ban (speaking for myself). No collector in their right mind would own a unfired, NIB Colt AR-15 SP1 R6000 or AR-15A2 R6550, for example, without original mags and all the trimmings. The collector group has certain weapons that never see a range and other weapons they use regularly. What is good to see is many 2A members helping others in need out before posting on GB or other auctions, whether they're collectors or purely shooters.

Think of it like this. 30 round mags are like 4 wheel drive full size pick up trucks, everyone has one yet the vast majority never use the 4 wheel drive or use the truck for its designed purpose. Do you have a full size 4 wheel drive truck? Do you use it off road hauling its max weight capacity? Or like most Americans you only drive it on the weekends to do Costco runs? Having things just for the sake of having things, practical or not, is the American way! From one responsible gun owner to another, if I follow all the applicable laws and rules, and reasonablly safe guard these items, why not have them?

If i already have the 30rd mags am i already grand fathered in? Or if they have a ban i will have to surrender them?

Yep, I'm pretty well set for mags too and have been for years. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer USGI mags...Guess I'm old school that way. But there's just something to be said for a mag that you can bend into shape, refinish, and rebuild over and over. Well at least until it cracks, then I toss'em. However the way things seem to be going, it might be smarter and cheaper to hold on to those too and have them welded.
The only reason I went for some PMAG's last week was because my son is getting his first AR and for some guys who were on duty and couldn't make it. Sad that the profiteers ended up screwing over a kid and great guys who are serving this country.

A new law may or may not have a grandfather clause, so there's no way of knowing. But either way, I really wouldn't worry...mags are not a serialized item so there is really no way to track them. If you need them, buy what you need. No sense stocking up at inflated prices at this point.

feinstein said it would have grandfathering in.
done deal. it likely wont pass the house anyways.

We will need them to fight against a tyrannicla government or foriegn invasion. With Obummer making his own army to China building up its military at record pace. Also Obummer is weakening our own Military who is going protect US? It has to be US!

WTF are you reading? Can you cite your fucked up sources? Red Dawn doesn't count. Chinese strategy with the US isn't about invasion at all. Their airpower projection is limited to ONE functional aircraft carrier - and it was bought at a used aircraft lot - as a mechanic's special.

China has strength in numbers. And has stolen a lot of our technology
Obama has been defunding the military since he got in power
Obama's army is called Americorps
Google it

You're the one wearing the tin foil hat 24/7.
As a computer tech i blame parents who let thier kids play those video violent games. I am one of them. Some children cant see reality. Also tv and movies that glorify all kinds of bad stuff yet we crave it. I have seen kids go from well behaved to monsters. Its sad. Even to some young adults.
You say all this outlandish, fucked crazy shit; trying to drum up biz for your store by quoting "Google this and that". Your statements lack sources of credibility.
If you are so scared of China why do you sell their products???

I feel sorry you are an angry and confused individual.
I dont know what you are talking about. Some of The goods the shop sells are made in china but at least they have a warranty.
I not afraid of the chinese. I am chinese.
I cant help it if there is a bully in the sandbox
My views dont reflect the shop view.

A lot of people think that if our " MOST TRUSTED" :crazy: government was to implement "TYRANNY", they would do it
like HITLER or GADDAFI...... Pride and Ignorance is destroying us as we speak.... Our government isnt stupid....
They will do it "METHODICALLY"... Like telling everyone what they wanna hear.... Tell people that enjoy sin, that they understand and its OK....
They'll take advantage of incidents like School, Theater and Mall shootings to take freedoms away from the law abidding.....
They will use our freedom against us....(like Judo) ;)
People say that it wont happen... All these decades it didnt because we as a nation stood together...(under GOD)
The government is already turning us all against each other..... with these shootings....
People forget how strong evil is.... Many 3rd world countries suffer because they cannot overcome evil..."they think it doesnt exsist"
Wake up or not, its coming.. just like "The frog in the tea pot" or kettle? cant remember, but like that :thumbsup:

I'm not a bully, I'm against people that shout "fire" without just cause in a crowded mall.
I'm down for a shoot-out. 600 yard line with my simpleton AR A2 upper with just a sling and iron sights. 22 rounds, 2 sighters. I'll put up one PMAG 20 rounder if I lose.

This must be the best thing I heard . Lol what r these idiots going to do throw there mags at people :wtf:

More directed at SpeedTek in a response to a duel, but open to anyone (new shooter) that wants to come out and shoot at Puuloa.
I noticed after OGC sold out their PMAGs there's a lot more for sale at higher prices in the classifieds. Most people are just reselling them at these prices because demand has outstripped supply. When suppliers meet the demand, prices will stabilize like how they historically have shown. I have a few PMAG 308s on backorder at their regular price. Price is ineleastic in the short run and will return to elasticity in the long run.

Magpul is still shipping out mags. The media got all this nuts in a frenzy . I mean how much mags does one need . Lol you just bought 15 mags and try to sell them for more . Magpul sends out a shipment now your stuck . Then I'm going down to OGC and pick up 2 mags for half the price if not less then what you gotthem for . Then I'm going to koko head sit all day at my bench fire off 1 shot every 1/2 hour and hope that someone stops by and admire my rifle .

You know whats funny... I was reading saying "Yup, sad how everybody like sell mags for plenty now...."
Then it dawned on me, "Eh, maybe I should sell some mags too.."
Sorry im guilty of thinking that.... That is the beginning of survival mode... Lol

Opportunity. Sell 'em if you can part with them. This is America! I would have sold PMAGs but never cared for them and did not buy a lot of them. The PMAG I use is for single loading anyways. I never had luck with loading them with Mk262 or 77s. The 308 PMAG is fine with M118LR and feeds smoothly.

If it's anything like last time you're looking at months before the supplies return to normal..............like this time next year even. Keep in mind 4 years ago BO wasn't spouting the anti-firearms line nor were the leglislators.

but you can backorder on places like midway and have em shipped by the end of January. it may not be normal supply, but you'll be able to get em without paying 60 a pop.

This whole situation is basically a self imposed ban. It reminds me of the rice shortage a few years back when there was a rumor of a rice shortage and everyone started hording rice which caused a actual rice shortage. Its all because a group of people that think they need to have 15 lower receivers and 50 mags.
I remember the last ban. There were still 30 round mags to be had but the price went from $5 to $20-25. Also during the ban, AK mags were $5 or less and FAL mags were $5. (gun show prices) I was not happy when the ban expired and supply went up but the price didn't go down very much if at all.

All this talk reminds me of star wars. It's like obumma is senetor palpatine and is biding his time, moving his pieces into place for the right time to "execute orda sixty-six". Then take over the galaxy. O0

You can backorder, but there's no guarantee when backorders will be filled. Even the large guys like Brownells and Midway took a long time to get some items again. I think you might have a better chance getting stuff from small guys who luck into a backorder.

well, yeah, i wouldnt trust a back order. i sure didnt. i almost backordered some lancer mags, but instead i ended up buying some USGI mags from a poster here.
much better deal, and i didnt have to wait on them.

I got some USGI mags for sale if anyone was interested.

Negative on the Midway backorders for mags... tried to place one just to try, and the order was completly cancelled... (this was over a week ago, may have changed.) Just saying...

Speaking of panic buying potassium iodide nuke pills are quite affordable right now, at least until the next nuclear reactor melts down.

No panic here. Mostly want to replace the 10 round mags I gave to my hunting buddy on Lanai... Even 5 & 10 round mags are alas...
