    So i just acquired my first AR and need/want more magazines. Since I have never had a reason, I have never paid any attention to their cost. I realize that prices are probably inflated right now, but was wondering what a fair/good price is for them and what to look for when things calm down. Can anyone clue in the clueless?

    They are not crazy high now. I'd buy some now. It's probably only going to get worse as Biden gains momentum. And if he makes it, I would expect them to either skyrocket in price or be illegal to own and/or sell. Or both.

    $8-10 is a decent price for Pmags. Even when things "settle down", they won't be much less than that.

    D&H, buy 10 from PSA and save the shipping... Sometimes they run them on sale for as low as $6.99 but $9.99 is fair.

    Even at $9.99 that's a better price than some of the surplus mags at guns shows a few months back. Just like everyone else said already, now is the time to buy, not when another rush hits.

    walk.......don't run.


    to any Rural King.

    magpul gen 3 $14.

    if your gun came with one......buy one.

    while you are there buy some ammo, they have a limit so stuff stays on shelf.

    if you live in Indy riots may need to buy more guns & ammo & drive to New Castle or Frankfort or go to rkguns.com

    So what is the difference between magpul m2 and m3?

    Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

    The M3 has an over insertion tab to prevent slamming it home too far. And a slimmer floor plate and a "dot matrix" on the side. This so you can color a number of dots to be able to number them as opposed to say, writing a number on the mag.

    I've run Gen1 and Gen 2 Pmags at several matches and training schools with no issue. As a matter if fact, I've only had issues with one AR mag of any type and that was a very old, very used 20 round surplus mag.

    I was going to say about $2
