GI is stamped metal


99.8% of people prefer PMAG over GI mag

Wishful thinking!!!  Pmags 30 is a fair price now and if you want them be prepared to pay upwards of 40.  They are very hard to come by right now.   Prior the hysteria....yes 12-20, not now unless you get real lucky or want to wait.  If the hi cap ban goes into place you can fully expect pmags to go for 50+ / per mag.... buy now for 30 if you can.

What I meant is that it's not worth the price gouging to pay what people are asking. There is nothing about a pmag that makes it better for 95% of the population. If you aren't preparing for war you don't need a ton of magazines. Even when I do go to war the most I generally carry is 10, and not pmags. I own some pmags but my gi mags, especially with tan followers or a pmag follower have proven themselves perfectly reliable in combat.

MidwayUSA has some good prices right now. They are out of stock after the latest panic but are accepting backorders.

I don't give a hoot about how 95% of the magazine looks. However, if the feed lips are cracked, bent or marred, the entire magazine is worthless. Way too much risk for a type II malfunction. Lot less risk in plastic over the GI aluminum.  That is why I prefer PMAGs.

Try Brownell's, I think I saw some there.

Botach Tactical has Colt metal magazines (30 round) for 20 bucks.  No Pmags at all.  I've used a lot of metal mags with no trouble, I think most folks would never know the difference.

I bought some of the Troy Battlemags for 15 bucks apiece.
