    Heck, maybe I'll just pick up ten total and leave eight of them in the wrapper and see what happens. If they become scarce and really expensive in the next four years I can get my money back and then some. If they don't become scare or expensive then I guess I'll just have extras.

    Thanks.

    Sounds like a good plan to me.

    I bought 8 MAGPUL LR20 mags, 7 are opened, 1 unopened in parts bin, 3 in the duty belt, 3 in the breakdown bag accessory pocket, and 1 with the rifle broke down in main stoarge of case. 2 of those listed above (one in the main pocket with rifle) are loaded with 20rds of 150gr "take this byatch" ammo, just in case. If I need more than 40 rds of 308 I have the 5.56 nearby with two 30rd mags as well with " take this as well byatch" ammo and also nearby is stuffed ammo boxes with 308.



    Might pick me up some more as I found a place that has them for $20 a pop as they might become scarce at that price.

    "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    Because nobody ever told me.

    Have you ordered stuff from them before? That's definitely a good deal on the magazines. Plus, I found a holster that I was about to order from a different place and it was $15 cheaper on Man Venture.

    Yeah, probably pushing close to 1k spent on that site over time...definitely my top choice these days. Sadly, their magazine stock is looking pretty sparse right now though... I'm still in awe that 200,000+ pmags sold in a week. I've bought everything from ghost connectors, mags, holsters, spring kits, mag spacers, riser mounts, etc... all the trinkets gun owners end up with over time, and they're always a few bucks cheaper than Amazon, Midway or CTD.

    I'm actually more of a customer service oriented buyer. Is their shipping reasonable and do your items arrive in a timely fashion?

    I noticed darn near all of their P-mags were sold out as well. Heck of a good deal on the 30 rounders. I think I looked at just about every color and they were all out of stock. Oh, well. Not like I need any more 5.56 mags anyways.

    I have to admit, I'm part of the reason the pmags are sold out I bought some last week. Yes, shipping is 3 days usually, and they send status updates via email anytime the order is updated. When it's complete in the warehouse, when it ships, a tracking number, etc... It's pretty much just like CTD, but cheaper. I've never had to deal with a person though, so true customer service is yet to be determined, but with 6 or 7 orders from them, I've never had any issues with wrong products arriving, slow delivery, bad packaging, or anything. I'm a raving fan.

    oh, and for shipping rates, it works just like CTD or Amazon. The more warehouses involved, the more the shipping costs. My most recent order was 8 different items in varying quantities all from the same warehouse and my shipping was $9.99.

    I ordered 103 pmags from them, their communication was great and the shipping was as quick as could be expected. I'll use them again.
