How many Mags?

I must be dense. I don't understand the question. Doesn't it matter how many guns you have? If you have one gun, eight magazines might be enough. If you have ten guns, eight magazines would not be enough. My lovely and intelligent wife understood very quickly that a $300 gun, carefully bought, was a $500 gun three years later. A $300 dress, carefully bought, is a $10 garage sale item three years later. Money spent carefully on guns, magazines and ammo is an investment. Money spent on clothes and accessories is just "spent".

I think, given that OP put his question in the 15-22 forum, he was speaking specifically about magazines for the 15-22. Maybe im wrong but thats the impression I got.

A pair of 25s and a pair of 10s for the 15-22. For the shooting I do I don't need any more than that. Same or each of my bolt 22s, 2 10s and 2 5s each. That's enough for me. For ARs and AKs I have about 10 std cap mags for each rifle and a few short ones for bench shooting.
 
The real question should be.........
How much 22lr ammo are you hoarding?????
I have around 38K
Most bought @ $27Can a brick bulk ammo
Now it's $40+ a brick
Yellow jacket is $80+

No since in having 5+ mags if you don't have ammo!

As stated so before, you never have too many mags. I only have 6 for my M&P 22, all 25 rounders, but I have 20for my ARs, 14 for my Glock 22. I try to get as many mags as I can afford.
 
This is just for the 15-22 but all my guns have several spares.:)

4 x 20 Round Salem 6 Magazines
1 x 25 Round OEM Magazine
8 x 35 Round Plinker Tactical Magazines
1 x 50 Round Black Dog Machine Drum

Just tell her that in case of another high capacity ban the mags could be worth a fortune and you would gladly take her shopping when the payoff comes.
 
Magazine rules
1) If you know exactly how many you have, you don't have enough.
2) If you know approximately how many you have, you are doing OK.
3) If you have no clue, you just need a couple more.
 
I have about a dozen or so 25 round mags. I really don't need this many but during the sandy hook shenanigans I was able to trade 15-22 mags for 30 round AR mags. In the 3 years I've had my 15-22 I've only worn out one mag in 3-4K rounds. They are pretty durable.
 
Damn it, I thought 2 was extravagant, LOL. Seriously though, I have 2 25 round mags for the 15-22. I need pick a few more up but I think having only two slows me down a bit at the range.

Geez, I don't have a single magazine-fed firearm that doesn't have at least six magazines for it. :D
 
I buy every Colt mag for 1911 I find for $10.00 or less.

Aren't 1911's great?

I found 7 yesterday.
