How Many Magazines to Have?
Heavy G:
We all know high capacity magazines, especially for ARs and AKs, will be banned when Obama takes office.
We should all stock up--but how many? I don't want to go nuts and spend money that could go to other prepping on having more magazines than I need.
How many mags do you recommend having?

10 is the conservative estimate for how much to have on hand for rifles. 5 is the recommendation for handguns. After that add what you can as you can without going nuts. I personally went this route and have much more then just 10 or 5 depending on firearm. I do not know if it is cheaper to go that route, but it spreads the cost out over time, which does not detract from any other goals.

As many as you can get your hands on without going broke.
Worse case scenario & the AWB is reestablished, they'll probably triple in value & you can sell them for more than you paid for them. Even if they don't triple, the cost will go up & you'll already have a healthy stash to tide you over. I know it sounds ridiculous now, but I know around here we were paying $30 to $50 just for a GI mag, when you could find them. I'm in a small town though & there was a time when hi-cap mags were hard to come by.

10 per fighting rifle and 5-6 per handgun.
I like 6 for a handgun. 3 for range and 3 for carry, that would be 2 in the mag pouch and 1 in the gun for range or carry.
