How many magazines?

[strm_trpr]

I read it wrong, i say 50 total per person is good enough. per rifle i would say minimum of 10.

I'm thinking of rearranging mine and carrying less mags on my kit. But I usually have a PRC-148 pouch, blow out kit, mag pouches, general purpose pouch, and an admin pouch. Then I carry some heavy-ass radio like a PRC-117F or G, spare batteries, gps, LRF, NVGs, IR pointer, etc. That stuff gets heavy quick.

Ounces are killer man thats for sure. I'm pretty basic rig now, TYR GPC, Ceradyne ESAPI's, 3 AR, 3 Pistol, Blow Out Kit, Hydro, and Im debating getting a dump pouch for the range.

I have 8 Magpul 20LR mags and I don't yet own a .308

Obviously the .308 is on my with list, but by the time I can get the rifle, I may not be able to get the mags.

I'm getting 10 with the idea of using 5 for service and 5 in reserve.

[Troublco]

I dont carry every mag I own.

Mags break and wear out.

I dont know how many too many is. I could have a dumpster full and still wonder if I have enough.

This. I don't ever waste an opportunity to get a few more, if the price is right. It's like sex; never say no because if you do that's one less time in your life you'll ever get it.

When the rear springs on the pickup start to squat, that's probably enough.

Myself, I only have 31. All fully loaded, that's about all I'd want to try and carry in a bag. My rifle case has pouches for 6, plus one in the rifle. Sumbitch is heavy when your back is AFU.

Amount of Magazines you Need or Want?

Being an Older Person I may not need as many as the younger guy.
With that said, I do have a Son who I gave all my Firearms to & since Hitlerlooper made the High Caps. illegal after 7-1-13, I would encourage others to get as many as they can Financially afford..
Reason is,
They will get harder & harder to purchase. Illegal or not.
I know it's a tough call for some of our members. The Higher Cost's of everything going up & the uncertainty of B.O', Health Care.
Under MagPul's Colorado Air-Lift you can purchase them at a reasonable cost & $5.00 to ship, they are loosing money on that part of the transaction.
How Many,
it's your call & you are running out of Time?

I like to have minimal 10 per rifle and 5 per pistol

[R&S]

I would think a minumum of 10 per firearm, seeing how the Dems are... well you know.

Standard loadout for troops is 7 mags, if I was informed correctly.
