One million pmags on backorder
« on: January 10, 2013, 07:31:05 PM »
According to the gun review site, "Haus of Guns," backorders for the Magpul AR-15 30-round magazine ("PMAG") have surpassed one million.

In a Facebook post dated today, January 9, Haus of Guns writes the following:

"Had breakfast with a buddy who has reasonably close ties to the Magpul family.  Word is the great PMAG panic backorder of 2012/13 has topped 1 million at Magpul HQ."

Magpul is a designer and manufacturer of firearms accessories.  The PMAG is one of their most popular products.  It is a 30-round magazine designed for the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

Sales of firearms, ammunition and firearms accessories have surged in recent weeks over fears that the Obama administration will soon implement stricter gun laws.

Dianne Fenstien (D-Calif.) plans on introducing legislation that would ban military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Because the PMAG holds 30 rounds, it would fall under the definition of "high-capacity" in the Feinstein bill.

But, before any such legislation occurs, gun enthusiasts are scouring the nation to get their hands on what could be some of the last manufactured PMAGs.
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."

DAMN.

i gave up on PMAGs man.  instead, i backordered the much less popular Lancer AWM mags, which are really good mags as well, and i bet i'll get them before Brownells even allows me to TRY to back order PMAGs.

So are the guns they go in.  Australia is under the spell of progressive tyranny.  Of course, "military-style" guns are only impossible for the law abiding to obtain.  If you're a member of the criminal underworld, all you need is a trained machinist who's down on his luck and willing to break the law for the right price and you can have a silenced Owen full-auto submachine gun.  Secret full-auto arms factory raided in Australia in 2004

Stand up and fight for our rights!

A new customer came in today and ask for a Magpul 30rd mag.  Just when I was about to go find one he said he voted for Obama and regrets it.  Oh well we just ran out....

you have to realise, that Romney allowed the AWB of 94 to continue in massachusets.

i dont blame people for being wary of him.  he loved to talk about how he doesnt want to take guns, but his background isnt any better than obama's was.

I hear you,  he didnt give me a warm and fuzzy feeling either, but Obama,  he was just waiting to pounce.

I always tried to buy at least one mag everytime I went to a gun store too, one of the smartest things I ever did

I think that might've been sarcasm in his king Obama video, the sinking ship video, and preparing for the next four years he had stated prior to election that everybody should vote for Romney

Yup both choices were crap.  It's about choosing the lesser of two evils.

All the manufacturers are backed up/going to be backed up.  Same thing as 4 years ago.
