I can live without Pmags, I don't care how expensive they get. If they are more than $25 they can keep them. My standard GI mags feed just fine and I have lots of them.
Not drinking the cool-aid. There are other options out there. Plus the fewer we buy the more that are available to our troops.
Pmags are nice but they aren't $50+ nice.

Magpul will catch up with production demand, and the market will be saturated at some point too. What are retailers basing their back orders on, guessed sales? I'm sure plenty of panic buyers have maxed their cards, and couldn't afford much more product anyway, ban or no.

Also some states have had mag limit regs in place for a while, so Magpul just pops in pins as required.

I'd expect to see prices and supply normalize by years end.

I think the thing alot of people are not factoring is if an AWB does go into affect this will not stop magpul form continuing to produce these magazines. The tooling already exist and they need to keep producing these items for LEO and Military customers. And if they cannot sell these items in the USA who do you think they will be selling to? Other countries that they are allowed to sell to like canada. Remember if a AWB is put inplace those 1 million mag backorder will no longer exist as the ban will prevent purchase of any new magazines that are not already produced and sold to customers. So while these may become unobtanium in the USA we will still be getting them in Canada, either once the panic buying in the US dies down or once an AWB is put into place.
 
You know what guys, it is too early to predict what will happen, but either way we have a long wait and for the companies that are already in the Q waiting for there orders, that is what will be coming in and that is it...Someone in Canada start making there own Pmag version...
 
Just look a the EE...as soon as Obama announced his intentions yesterday and the lack of the EO for an AWB the WTS adds for pmags are in the dozens...two weeks ago there were dozens of WTB.
 
But Magpul has not raised their price. They might at some point if there is a small cost increase due to production demands i.e Overtime or New Machines.

So as long as you get it direct.....the price will be the same. It might take awhile....but the price will be the same.

If you want it now. because your 5 mags are not enough while you stand at the table punching paper. :runaway: Then you might, in a panic go and buy 20 more @ $50 or $75 a piece.

Not sure where Questar or O.S.T purchased there supply from, direct? or Distributor?, their cost would be higher than U.S MSRP. But still, the GenIII P-Mag will be under $30 retail in Canada. Supply will be low for a bit. The $18 p-mag is gone, cleared out the GenII's....

2 sense Bro
 
Has anyone confirmed the "1 million back ordered mags at Magpul" story? There are so many Pmag threads running about that I can't recall where I first read it but I do recall that the gist of the story began as (paraphrasing here) someone close to the magpul owners told somebody that they have a million back ordered mags. I'm just wondering if this is fact or fiction...maybe we are being Manti Teo'd!

Hard to say. Probably not for military or LE.

For the 1994 AWB police were generally unable to get them because no one was making them except for one U.S. Mil Contractor... It's one of the reasons by the 2000's no law enforcement in the States fought the AWB expiring. To paraphrase what a retired sheriff told me, "Until the AWB expired it was impossible to get 30rd mags... It was so bad that for years we were sending officers out with 5 and 10rd magazines. The only time officers would get them was when a criminal dropped a mag and said mag didn't end up in evidence."...

Sure, there will always be a few places overseas making them... But does anyone really think the Canadian market is currently large enough to order lets say 1-5 million mags? Let alone PMags.. At the end of the day... I fall asleep with a grin on my face because I know that Law Enforcement will be in an even worse position than I am if a magazine ban goes into effect. ---Which is why such a ban would only ever be temporary.
 
Pardon me if this sentiment has already been expressed (as I don't care to read through 6 pages of drivel) - but what I'm looking forward to is purchasing Pmags on the EE at a little less than a third of what folks payed for them, over the last couple of weeks.

The tears will be delicious.

Ban, no ban, reduced cap - its irrelevant. If you seriously don't think industry won't catch up in less than a year, then you don't understand industries ability to license and farm out.

One Chinese factory (with the product licensed, marked and routed through intermediaries, of course) could catch the back-order in a few months.

Save your money - and don't buy into this "sky is falling" BS.
 
Pricing will go down once the panic ends.

As for you guys selling them for $50+ in the EE... :rolleyes:

We already have a 5 round magazine cap, so there is no reason for us to have inflated prices, except for maybe a small premium due to a temporary lack of supply. Even if the U.S. enacts a domestic 10 round cap, we will still be able to get our pinned 5/30 rounders.

"Yet" is the operative word here. You can't run people and equipment 24/7 without it taking a personal and financial toll at some point.

These are the ones I have a lot more cost into, so I don't at all feel bad about simply breaking even on them...
