"das boot!!!"
WTS disclaimer-- unless stated as "included" in my ad please dont assume an item is. thank you.
The AIA mags have always been this price. Everyone else is selling them in the 70-75 range. If you want cheap then buy the pinned norinco ones.
Original AIA mags sold for about $40 or so when marstar had some in stock which was about 5 years ago, then those mags were selling here on the E.E. used for around $150.00 as none were availlable and there was a demand for 10 round mags that were good to go in the M305 rifles for both function and legality.
Now these magazines are selling brand new for $80 to serve the Canadian gun nut who owns a Norinco M305 or M14 semi clone and wants to shoot more then 5 rounds at a time...... and people can't understand the price?
Sure they are twice the price of what Marstar used to sell AIA mags for but that was many years ago and that boat has long since sailed.
Our Government trusts rivets more then law abiding gun owners.
There IS a hell of a markup, though, when another dealer can drop the price by $20 per unit if you buy 5
At 80$ I think I will live with my 5 rounds mag.
How about the price for the Chilean(swiss clones) rifle mags, or a 10 round Savage magazine, or mags for PPQ's etc?
These magazines were a special order item as well and depending on when they were procured it's possible the dollar is having an effect.
I don't like getting gouged any more the the next person, but at the end of the day even if this magazine is $20 over priced it's not that crazy for a device that costs at least $10 every time you charge it.
Update,
Looks like they are available else where for $75.00
Avoid the insanity and save $5.00...... That's 5 free shots!

Anybody know if these are available online anywhere? Thanks. Bird up!
