So my "dealer price" from Lipsey's (which is about as good as any wholesaler I use), for factory Colt 20 round aluminum mags is $23.18 and MSRP is $29.99. So if these are genuine "Okay" mags for $11 that is half the price I pay for Colts. You can generally expect to pay $25 for most USGI mags which is why I have been grabbing PMags almost exclusively for the last 15 years.
With the end of the sunset in 2004 I just ordered 100 (30) round mags and 50 (20) round mags and I think they were running about $15 each back then to have a supply of aluminum USGI mags because I thought they could get banned at any moment. When the Sandy Hook ban did not happen (especially the second one, late hour attempt by Harry Reid trying to catch us sleeping) I think I bought 500 Pmags because they were $9 each or something crazy. That combined with my other mags, USGI and Pmags puts me well over 1,000 AR mags for the 20+ rifles I have that use AR mags.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
