Buying Rifle magazines

[minton]

What state do you reside in ?

MS. tried to enter it in my profile but wasn't able to.

they might be trying to make sure your State allows you to purchase a magazine of the size you are looking for, which the FFL Dealer would know, also, if it's a magazine for a fully automatic machine gun, you'd have to get that from an FFL Dealer anyway..

Knew the fully auto firearms and accessories fell into a more restrict category.

Last time I ordered magazines was from Brownell's. They had a sale on both the Magpul AR-15 mags and the good quality mil-spec M1A-M14 mags. Other than asking for my shipping information (in order to ship them), I don't recall them asking anything about an FFL dealer.

And in the example of both of those magazines, there is zero difference between the magazines going in semi-auto rifles or full-auto rifles. The magazines don't know the difference.

Here in idaho....all stores carry any type you want. On shelves. A month ago the isles of my favorite gun store was jammed full of crates of ammo. Good prices on bulk ammo. I didn’t need any. Still don’t, but those inventory are history. **** that Facebook and all the prepers.

Correct as far as the weapon receiving the mag. but poor quality mags make for feeding issues.

Dittos on availability price and face book.

None needed here in KY. Governor cant even shut down the gun stores due to law.

Try Ky Gun Co, Centerfire Systems, or Buds Gun Shop. All are KY stores that are a breeze to deal with.

Were you trying to order high capacity mags?

Bought a couple of Ruger 380 mags off eBay this week. Ebay had some kind of message in red on the checkout page warning to make sure it was okay to buy in my state but nothing flagged the sale. Ordered on Monday and got in the mail today. They were ordinary stock mags.

What does Facebook have to do with preppers and ammo shortages? Preppers gonna prep! I bought a couple of new guns this week myself. Guy at Bass Pro said when it all started they had one day sales of 30 grand in the hunting department. He said the total for the whole store was only 45.

Talked to a trucker delivering paper products to local store. I asked why toilet paper is hard to find. He said as soon as someone spies him unloading paper, there on their phones to Facebook posts. Within minutes the lines start forming.

Also it was posted in paper last week that Facebook was going nuts over flower and yeast shortages...which weren't happening. Next thing you know, flower shortages were happening.

Let’s open the economy and shut down Facebook.
