Of 30rd AR mags to have/stock/save? I still got a bunch of USGI green 30 rounders and was thinking of selling some off again since people r looking. What u guys think is a good amount to hold on to? Then I may sell the rest.

I say at least 10 per long gun and 5 per handgun. Of course, more the merrier (in the Christmas spirit! Haha).

i think you should supply people in nearby areas with your surplus mags so that they can provide fire support

you selling AR mags?  how much?

im not interested in panic buying to profit.  i just only have 6 mags, and i'd prefer to take that up to 10-12, and leave it at that.

those magazines aren't worth much if you don't have ammo to load

I got 3 30rd Pmags and a 10rd for 5.56
For a trip to the range, that's more than enough. For doomsday, keep as many as you can keep loaded, maybe 10 like drck said?

I don't keep too many loaded. The 10 mags per gun was more since mags are a disposable item and things like the feed lips, spring, etc wear down. You can replace springs, but need a new mag body if the feed lips wear, break, get damaged, etc.

Magpul has stated many times there's no issue with storing loaded magazines.

I don't keep many mags loaded because I have mostly ammo just for range and training. The part of feed lips and spring wear is through use and not storage. I primarily use USGI mags anyways, but I'd have no problems leaving PMags loaded, same at my USGI mags.

If I had a good supply of some 55 gr BTHP ammo, I'd likely have more mags loaded up.
