No...just selling the Pmags (if things keep going crazy like they are)...I agree that I don't think the USGI's/LAR's are going to go crazy...but if they did, I'd probably sell a good portion of them also (I have alot of mags). I'm more inclined to think it'll be crazy for another couple months then settle back down.
How Expensive Will PMAGs Get in 2013?

I don't get the big deal with pmags ... Yeah there nice but there's lar15, xcr-m, d&h, mars(dlask imports), Beowulf and probably others I don't even know about. They all function the same and most people probably use the readily available lar mags just because they hold more rds. If Pmags go above 35.00 I'd purchase something else.
Just my 2 cents. I don't think Pmags will hit even 50.00.

they are there. i have seen people selling them for 50-75 already.
PMags are very light, ergonomic, upgradeable, reliable, durable. There is a reason they are dominating the market. When I am in situations where I am only allowed to use 5-round mags (match rules, stupid range rules...), I use the PMags over the LAR mags.
Down the road, should it become legal to do so, you can unpin a PMag to return it to its original capacity. You can't say the same for an LAR mag.

Why not? Producing in China means massive profit and people will still buy it.

You can sell anything at any price, that does not mean people will buy them...
I have seen people sell pmags for $40...
But most retailers won't jack up the price too much anyways.

You're an optimist I see! Even running 24/7 it will probably take Magpul about 2 years to catch up just the orders that were placed over Christmas.
Just wait, PMAGS will go back to normal in time. POTUS didn't EO the mag capacity or AWB. He left that to go to congress, where it will likely croak.
Then the panic ends, you end up with a sudden surplus, a flood of stuff people bought just in case it was TEOTWAWKI. Stores no longer ordering every crate of AR related crap they can order. This happened before remember?

Surplus? Running full-tilt it will take them 2-3 years to just satisfy the existing orders. You did get the memo, right?

Yes...the backorder is there because of the possible AWB. If the AWB will not pass, people will cancel orders...people who hoarded a lot of pmags will start selling them for cheaper and the price will drop.
If you take out the demand for pmags...(possible AWB), then price will drop eventually...faster than 2 years.
It is simple economics...and these up and down in prices does not just happen in the firearm industry.

Can't see people canceling en masse, regardless.

Maybe..maybe not, but if the AWB is not passed. Why would people need to hoard pmags anymore?

We are talking Americans here...they will forgot about the AWB in a couple months if it fails to pass. They have to worry about their collapsing economy.
