Price for 30 Round Metal AR Mags?
I found a bunch of AR mags at what I thought was a decently low price. It was $16 for the magazine and 20 rounds of .223 tulaammo together. What would be a good price for the mags themselves and was this a good deal? It's marked 6P199 08/05.

I recently paid $9.99 each (delivered) for new black stainless steel C-Products 30 rd mags with orange followers. These are some of the best available. I had to buy a baker's dozen to get free shipping. No ammo included but it's still a better price especially given the excellent quality of these mags. Besides, I don't like steel cased ammo unless it's going in an AK.

Just like Mike said, most places around here have them on sale periodically for $9.99. Their everyday price is usually $12-$15.

They had individual magazines for $12, same kind. I happen to like Tula Ammo. I just hope my AR I'm getting likes it. Also, can you guys recommend a good priced entry lever AR in .223? Building one isn't an option, I'm afraid.

before i started reloading, ALL my guns ate thousands of tulas through their days, just know that the jacket is a bi-metal jacket(it has some steel in it) so it does actually wear out your barrel faster, as for the case being steel i have never noticed any issues with that
seems like a good deal, i beleive tula 223 is about 6$ a box IIRC

Holy crap, normally those C-Products mags are $17 or so..... so $10 is a good price. And yes, they are excellent - probably the best mag going.

NIB or used? I can usually pick up used Metal C-products for $6-$8 each. Around here, 20 rounds of Tula is about $4.27 or so, so you are paying $12 for the mag. Not a bad price assuming the mags are brand new, but it's not a door buster either.

Not looking to spend alot, are there any for around
$500-600? As for the mags they're uaed. They're the ones with the green plastic follower, he had one more box with a mag so I think I might pick it up the next time I go.
