WTB: two 5.56/.223 30rnd mags

[Sytes]

looking for a couple magazines. Anyone who has two spare - will pay $40 for two. (black, no polymer types, used w/o defect of wear bordering on occasional spring/other malfunction is fine as welll)
I had an m-4 being built prior to this extremely unfortunate incident. My FFL dealer who purchased the materials called advising he just received the last pieces and advised I was lucky to have started this build when I did as piarts are becoming massively backordered. I had not thought of magazines until a co-worker was speaking about his inability to locate any stores selling magazines... thus the reason I am offering $20 per.

pm please only from legal states able to ship. Not interested in "magazine repair kits" - thanks

Any reason you don't want polymer mags? Magpul Pmags are as good as they get, tougher and more dependable than metal mags. I'll go check what I have and send you a PM.

I don't know much about the poly mags for AR/M4 type though when searching today, I found the only available mags were Tapco poly mags... Inquired from my coworker whom stated Tapco poly mags seem to have problems.

I imagine it may be focused on the brand though since posting wtb thread figured I would steer away from them. I am used to the metal ones - lean that way over familiarity as well I suppose.

Appreciate you looking. Thanks Missoulaz!

I will agree Tapco is crap, I use a couple at the range to create jams/problems for drills.

The Magpul's are great, many say as good as you can get fro a mag. I have also heard decent things about the new Lancer polymer mags.

P-mags are good to go. Good luck finding GI mags for $20 until things shake out if they do at all.

Look here ar15 mags

They have a few barrels, yes, giant barrels full of Magpul 30-rd pmags in the Axemen in Missoula.

$14.95 each. If you can't get to Missoula, let me know within the next day or so and I'll grab you a couple.

I haven't used the Magpuls much but everyone says they are pretty good, if not better than metal magazines.

If they're out there, I know where there's a warehouse full of 'em. Let me know. Same price. I'm picking up a few more today as well, but I like the 20 rounders personally.

P-Mags are the bomb. Don't be afraid of them Sytes!

 

[Summitthunting]

Ben would you be able to pick me up 2 of the 30round pmags. I'll pm you tonight.

Tapco plastic mags suck. I ordered 3 of them to try them out. Only 1 worked. I kept it for range use, and returned the other two. I went to Magpul P-mags and have put hundreds of rounds through them without a malfunction, and I can't say that about USGI metal mags, though maybe I was only issued crap ones back in the day. I would bet my life on Magpul P-mags.

 

[fishing4sanity]

Just jumping on the Magpul band wagon, I've used a lot of the metal mags and the Magpul PMags, I prefer the Magpul. I'd only buy the metal mags if I couldn't find the Magpul. Either way, good luck if your sporting goods stores have gotten as overrun as the ones around here!

 

[Sytes]

Thanks everyone for the info and offers to assist. Looks like I am taken care of. Appreciate it!

You can still order Colt 30 rounders for 20 bucks on Botach Tactical. I ordered four of the Troy Battlemags tonight. Can't believe these jackwads buying up everything in sight, I've seen Pmags advertised for 50-60 bucks apiece right now.

 

[SDHNTR]

Anyone know where I can find a 10 rd 223 P Mag? Even those are sold out everywhere I look.

 

[jlmatthew]

I have 130 magpul pmag 30 round magazines

What are they worth now? There just sitting in a box, 90% are brand new

After a quick look online I guess I'm sitting on a little pot of gold right now

 

[Missoulaz28]

Pmags seem to have settled down at $30 each right now. If you are patient could probably get a little more. If/when a ban does happen i wouldn't be surprised to see them hit $100 each.

 

[Sytes]

I suppose it also depends on your states potential upcoming laws... California, I found, grandfathered high capacity mags are illegal to buy/sell thus the gold value of such items are effectively void.

Agree and PMags are what I'm using in Afghanistan and I have yet to have a malfunction with them. I also havent cleaned them at all so they are still covered in all the dirt and dust from this place so I wouldnt think twice about getting a few of them.

Guessing if them and the dirt/sand in them could talk... would be chapters. Keep your head down! God bless you.
