Magpul window mags/. ON SALE!

tgreening · February 19, 2013, 05:08 PM

Really. LGS has them on sale for a smoking deal of $24.99/ea, limit 3. Hey, considering recent events that IS a smokin deal. I knuckled under and picked up the limit. They've been on the shelf a while actually and if still there tomorrow I might hit it again, you know, just to do my part for the economy.

Where is this place!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

Thats not bad my local gun store has the Dark Earth ones for $50.00

madcratebuilder · February 20, 2013, 08:29 AM

I thought they were over priced at $16

I've seen prices near $100 per mag a few weeks ago. CRAZY!

tobnpr · February 20, 2013, 08:38 AM

$50 for a mag that costs a few bucks to injection-mold...

Who are the suckers, here...

Palmetto-Pride · February 20, 2013, 09:42 AM

I suppose to people that don't have any and feel like they may not get them before a ban $50.00 probably not bad. I already have around 20 pmags so I didn't have to worry about it..... Although I hope don't lose mine on this boating trip I am taking soon.

Glad I'm already stocked up on PMags.

I won't spend more than $12-15 on an AR mag.

tgreening · February 20, 2013, 09:29 PM

Around here they were $18-$20 prior to all the non-sense. I'm paying a $5 premium at the moment and I can live with it.

I stop in to CTD now and again just for giggles, and noticed last night that 30 rnd pmags are $99 a piece.

I understand free market and all that but those people are just plain insane, and insultingly opportunistic. I'll have to be pretty desperate before I send any more of my money their way.

A couple bucks to make is debatable. I know what injection molding equipment costs, and I know what those molds can cost to repair, since I repair them and I ain't cheap.

Plus, the cost structure doesn't begin and end with the machine and the raw material, but that's fodder for a different forum I think.

if people refused to entertain these outrageous prices they would drop back down

I believe in my local level at least it's already happening, that's why I have Pmags on sale at a LGS for $24.99. They're sitting on the shelves now instead of people fighting in the isles to get them. Same with the EBRs. They've been sitting as well and about 50% of them are on sale at the moment.

My other LGS hasn't quite seen the light yet. They figure their stuff is still double gold plated, which is just up from their normal regular gold plated. Just a matter of time for them though as their stuff has been sitting on the shelf as well.

Both of them have .223/5.56 in stock, though nothing in real bulk, and neither has any .22 to be seen. That just blows my mind. I'm almost of a mind to pick up something in .17 HMR because that stuff is all over the place and cheaper than the .22 was BEFORE every thing went nuts.

What's a nice .17 HMR semi-auto?

One of our LGS has just received a shipment of them. I picked up 2 for $50.Not that I needed any but they are nice and light. $25 is too much, but if they get banned it will be a bargain.
