Most of which are still in plastic. I also bought replacement parts. I also found that mil-surp mags ran in all my guns. At $3/mag, I bought several of those as well.

Anyway, today everything gun-related seems to be scarce. My recommendation when this happens is to find and buy things that you know will work in your gun(s), and just deal with the price. You're going to want to wait until things settle down a couple years from now to stock up, so just get as many mags as you need for your purposes. So for example if I wanted to take a carbine class, I'd make sure I had at least 5 mags for drilling purposes. If just for plinking/HD, maybe 2 or 3 would be enough.

Forgot about TEOWAWKI. At least 8 mags bare minimum.
Neither did I. I didn't take your reply like that all. Sorry if I came off that way. I'm just looking for input. Sometimes it's tough to read what a person wrote the way they meant it. All good.

I ended up with 10 M2's and 5 M3's. 16 mags should be enough. Now I am working on ammo to fill them. This is tougher than finding the mags. I also came across a Sig Romeo 6H for dirt cheap. It now sits atop my AR.
