it is not even about price gouging anymore with these genuine 25 round mags. you either get them now or you won't have any forever. it will be illegal to even transfer them after the ban.
Cannot find M&P 15-22 25 rd Mag....

I found a few at my local gun show last weekend for $65 each. Kinda blew my mind. Needless to say they stayed there.

why?
This is exactly why we have the current issues!!!! If you STOP buying them at these prices they will stop selling them at these prices. However, we have this mentality of "get it while you can" Just like the ammo shortage, if people quit buying it at inflated prices and at LARGE - STUPID quantities we would all have some. WE are the reason of this current situation. Not the antigunners, not the democrats or liberals but us.(let the lambasting start). You "hate being gouged" but you did it nonetheless. If you hated it enough you would not have done it!

Mags are a different story vs. ammo. Ammo will be replenished eventually. If a magazine ban goes into affect and you didn't have the mags to begin with you'd be SOL. If you got them post ban then you will still be left with inflated prices (possibly higher?).This is capitalism at its finest. There isn't enough supply but there is plenty of demand. Personally, if I didn't have my cache of pre-hysteria magazines I'd be on the hunt for them as well. Would I pay $50 a mag? Maybe...if I wanted them bad enough and didn't think I'd find them later.

And people/consumers are paying $100 plus for mags... A lot of you younger guys weren't around and affected by the 1994 Clintonian Crime Bill... where Hi-Cap mags were non existent for 10 years... except for those of us that put back hundreds of mags...and in areas of the country... where people wanted to replace there worn out mags in the 7 to 10 year window were MORE than willing to pay as much as $200.00 for a hi cap mag...

why?
but there is no current ban. do we really think this is going to happen anytime soon? I fully understand supply vs demand. My point is that we, as gun supporters, have escalated this frenzy. It is worse than the previous ban frenzy. I have enough ammo and mags, some bought during the frenzy but not at these inflated prices. You want an example? Bought a 15-22 pistol in the box with 2 25rd mags for <$500 OTD while they are selling for $800-$1000 on GB. Passed on 1 25rd mag for $50 from a LGS that does mostly gun shows. Some LGS are inflating them. Example: Glock 17 mags for $75/each. Why? because someone paid it. Do you really think your LGS paid these crazy prices? No, they are re-pricing them.
This is why we are where we are. We as a group of gun owners and 2nd amendment supporters cannot come together as one and say this is BULL S***! Divide and conquer is the current administrations tactics. We have to stop buying into it. We have to stand up as a single voice and so NO! Enough is enough. When will we do this? After we have been stripped of our rights? After we have gouged each other out of existence? I am tired of hearing "I am a gun owner BUT, I have shot before BUT!, I am not against the right to bear arms BUT." When does the BUT stop? Where does the BUT start? Where does the BUT stop? With you. With us. Make it a priority to make the BUT stop with you. Tell your LGS NO, tell the vendor at the gunshow NO. Tell them they are causing this and hurting us as gunowners. Stop paying these stupid and over inflated prices. Stop buying ever single piece of ammo at whatever price they are asking. We are killing ourselves! In the end, it is up to each of us to look inside and say "Am I doing this for the common good?" Sounds hokey but it is true. I don't care if mags go to $500/each or .22LR ammo goes for $50/100. I wouldn't buy it. Principal is the key. Have principals and stick to them. Have a plan and stick to it. There are always going to be some that will do whatever it takes to get whatever it takes and we cannot focus on them. We need to focus on us. What are you going to do today that supports my fellow gun owner? Me? I am going to give some ammo to an acquaintance that can not find any. He is an older guy that shoots a 22TC rim fire and is out of ammo. PAY IT FORWARD!

Called my local gs yesterday to see if they had any 25 round mags in stock and they guy on the phone said he thought they had 2 so I drove right over. I get there and they can't find any 25 rounders at all but they did have a box full of the long 10 rounders! I picked up 4 for $16.95 each and it took me all of 10 mins to convert them to 25 rounds heh.

The gun community = band of brothers? I'd like to think so but we all know greed and fear take precedent in situations like this. It's more like "every man for himself" in the interests of self preservation and fiscal opportunity.

If you can't find a 25rd mag, look for the 10rd mags. I haven't seen one yet that wasn't a pinned or plugged mag of higher capacity. Son recently bought a 10rd that was a 32 round with a plug on the follower. Easy mod to make it full capacity. 10rd S&W mags are pinned 25rd mags.
Good luck!

First post at the forum and I'm also on the look-out for mags. Bought my 15-22 811031 today and felt lucky to buy it for $475 on an MSRP of $499. It was a NY store that unfortunately had to basically liquidate due to the new laws there. He had 2 of the long 10s left that he threw in making it 3x 10s with the package.
I've been looking for 25s for a week and there's nothing out there that's reasonable online. Very limited stores here in CT and they were all stripped bare by the end of the year.
NY was the first and I envision several more states following suit. Think about the original 1994 ban and the states that mirrored that law on a state level to remove the sunset clause. That's why there are "Compliant" models for CA, CT, MA, MD, NY, NJ, and RI. Fortunately, here in CT we have no magazine limit yet, but there is huge pressure to go to 10 rounds and 1 feature (vs. 2 we have now).
I watched the Senate hearings and read everything I could find after that. My prediction is there will be no national ban on anything. They can't even get enough support in the D majority Senate never mind the R majority House. So I think all of this frenzy will be for nothing other than a few states like NY that will institute their own state-level restrictions. So, like in 1993 people here in CT are trying to buy a few mags over 10 to get them grandfathered.
I was able to place an order with S&W directly at $20.04 per 25 round magazine. Very nice people there and very understanding. Found it interesting that Pmag makes the M&P 15-22 magazines and she said there were over 1 million of all types that Pmag makes on back order. She thought it would be about 2 months for my order to fill, which may be too late. So, if something changes here in CT between now and then I'll be looking for a fellow 15-22 enthusiast to take over my order and do some sort of swap.
Great forum, looking forward to contributing!

Do you mean to say that Magpul (the maker of Pmags) makes 15-22 mags? I've never heard that.
Botach can drop off the face of the earth. Folks here saying ordered last week and got all mine yesterday. I've had them dump two separate orders that were place 12/21 and 12/30. Got an e-mail asking if I wanted to back order them.....yeah sure!

No, MagPul does not make 15-22 magazines. He's probably thinking of ProMag.

That's what the lady at S&W said on the phone - that all of the M&P 15-22 mags are made by Magpul and they have 1 million mags of all types on backorder. I even asked her to clarify and she went on and on about the Pmags. So yes, unless S&W doesn't know where they get their own mags from...

MagPul may indeed manufacture magazines for S&W, but they don't sell them to the public. Virtually all magazines are manufactured by less than a dozen companies, world wide.
I really doubt S&W is going to make public who their supplier is, though.
Normally I would agree that S&W wouldn't let slip who their supplier is.
That being said, if I'd been answering the phone for weeks and had to tell a bazillion customers that I couldn't ship any, knowing that my company gets then from another company who is backlogged with their own products (Magpul), I might let it slip....
There is a lot of Magpul accessories included with many of S&W's rifles (both in the .223 and .22 versions). I could see the possibility of them making the 15-22 mas.
