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.

Can't we all just get along?

We all love Chinese food.

You're the one wearing the tin foil hat 24/7. 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???


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

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.

If I cried fire, I'd be down...whatcha want in return? :D

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.

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.
