    How many Pmags per week?

    With all the back orders on 30 round Pmags in lets say black. I have to ask how many Pmags is Magpul currently making in a week? Im assuming the majorty of production at the moment is dedicated to Pmags for now. Some dealers have 15 to 17,000 on back order.

    I'd not hold my breath. The hoarding that's been going on makes it difficult for everyone else to get their fill.

    I'd like to have about 10 more P-mags, but I've given up on getting any in the near future, since assbags are buying them up, hundreds at a time, and flipping them at gun shows for $25-$35.

    The more, shall we say it nicely, "entrepreneurial" among us have ensured that their buying for profit will trump our buying for need.

    It's sleazy, but the only thing we can collectively do is refuse to pay those prices, wait 'til the hysteria stabilises, and get on with life as usual.

    Trust me, the frenzy isn't completely unfounded, but eventually the impulse buyers and hoarders will run out of liquid cash to drop on 200 P-mags at once, etc.

    Plus, when they get their house foreclosed on, and get laid off, they'll be unloading their gun gear for pennies on the dollar.

    Sit tight, bro. We'll get some P-Mags soon. If it makes you feel any better, the BQM retail store had 200+ the day before the election, and one individual came in and cleaned 'em out as I got there. It is, what it is...

    I thought I saw over at TOS that Magpul was making 10-15K a day. I couldn't find it later so I could have been imagining things. In any event, just get on the back order list with a couple of good dealers and you'll get Pmags.

    An insightful and well-reasoned bit of analysis. Nicely put.

    I like what your saying, but one thing I'd like to comment on.... Their houses wont forclose...obama is going to take money from the rich and pay off those houses for those who cant pay for it themselves

    Maybe he'll throw in some P-Mags for those of us who are still solvent on our payments.

    I'm going to ask my accountant if I can list Wall Street as a dependant for my '08 return...

    Hmmm, so maybe I should go buy a house I can't afford ASAP

    Beautiful.

    To the OP...my prediction is that PMAGs will be readily available at your internet retailer of choice by inauguration day in January.

    Same here at Ft. Carson.

    I was buying a few every two weeks (18.80 for black windowed). When I went in 2-3 weeks ago, the lady behind the counter said they had some but couldn't sell them.
    I called them yesterday and she said they were now selling them at $29.95.

    I won't be doing business with them again. I'll buy all of my stuff from someone else.
