AR Magazines.. How many is enough?

[Dennis]

I'm not sure why anyone here is arguing about buying mags... I had to do breathing exercises to restrain myself every time I got bulk mag sale emails from Brownells or GunMagWarehouse last year.

Quality mags, ammo and toilet paper should go hand in hand during times of plenty .

I currently have 12 Magpul gen 3 and 15 aluminum good mags. And 4 of the Magpul 40 rounders just because (they haven't been opened). About 20 of the mags are new never used and stay in my safe in ammo cans. I have 3 AR's that cover everything that I need from these and 1 for each of my 3 children eventually.

Biden's very clear on his intention to "re-instate the ban" of mags over 10 rounds. The current polling in swing states isn't looking good but I hope this turns around if Biden is forced to actually campaign and demonstrate his dementia. Anyway my question is how many mags is "enough". They aren't expensive but what's a good # to have for something that is planned to be multi -generational?

Currently sitting at about 30 AR mags and 12 Glock mags.

What kind of fire fight do you plan on being in? If you are a civ or LE you are most likely going start and end the fight with whatever is in the gun.

That's why I said they would be currency. A shit load of extra $10 mags now can be traded to those who need them later. I would rather trade a few mags for something then trade ammo.

I remember back in the early 1990's when the California ban was happening. Panic buying everywhere. I picked up about 20 GI M14 mags for $100 and traded them for 1k rounds of 30-06. I didn't even own a M1A, but I knew the mags would have value.

If a ban is re-instated, how do I prove I bought them before the ban?

How do they prove you didn’t?

Additionally, most mags are date-coded.

It sounds as if you are assuming that you would be allowed to keep mags you already own. I think that's a possibility, but I expect the next ban attempt to exclude any grandfathering for weapons or magazines.

They say ammo will be currency, but mags will be too. You can have 5k rounds of 5.56, but if you only have a few good mags it doesn’t matter...

Yeah, 1 round can get you nearly anything...

Allowed?

Come get that shit, bitches.

The answer is always the same, just like how much money is enough? Just a little more...
