Price for 30 Round Metal AR Mags?

[Mosin-Marauder]

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.

Also, can you guys recommend a good priced entry lever AR in .223?

Most are chambered in 5.56. I'm not sure if that's a deal breaker for you, but finding one off the rack actually in .223 might be a little hard. As for entry level, what are you looking to spend and what it's purpose to be?

[Mosin-Marauder]

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.

i have an omni that i paiid 489$ for a year ago, its been a good gun

I bought a 10 pack of D&H mags from PSA for $79.99 I like em, havent had one malfunction with them. I read these are actually the same as gov issue, have no proof.

Does that include optics? You can hit that price pretty easy if you just want iron sights. You can always add a reflex/scope/red dot if you want to later. I'd check out Palmetto State(stay away from their PTAC line though). They almost always have some sort of sale, and i'd expect a nice 4th of July sale, as well as a Labor Day sale at the end of summer. There may be cheaper guns out there, but PSA is the best bang for your buck IMO.
