I would never have mags that are illegal

Yeah - that's why I may have gotten carried away - a little. Better that I spend another ~$1K on mags and have them, than not be able to get them later (without smuggling them in) if/when I need them (SHTF). My general rule is to have a loadout (one in fun, 4 backup mags in carrier) and an extra backup (4 mags) per defensive gun - or at the very least, a loadout for each gun.I have multiple that I wish I would, could or should have purchased.
Most of us have more than enough.Yeah - that's why I may have gotten carried away - a little.

Some guns, of which I only have a single gun (I prep for three people {including myself}, so generally I have three of each gun for them), I am not as diligent about that rule - especially if it is a bolt/lever action or a .22 rimfire or a gun that has a "standard" mag capacity of 10 or less (I can but those later) - e.g., my Ruger GSR that takes AICS mags, usually less than 10 rds.
I need to get a couple spare mags for my Browning BLR, and the Enfield and such - just to have spares, not for a loadout. That can happen later.
As it is, once all the mags get here, I will have enough that I won't feel the need to get more later. This was all panic buying - I should have had more than enough to start with and I should have them organized with a proper inventory. My inventory was kind of ok, but flawed, and my organizing was in process and sucked, which caused me to order more than I needed in some areas, and panic buy in others where I found out I didn't have the quantity I wanted.
Fortunately, I found enough and at decent sale prices.
If we are successful in getting the mag ban thrown out, and Biden/et. al. isn't successful in his efforts to ban things, then I may order a few more mags next year - but right now I spent considerably more on preps in the last couple of months and now I have to think about getting the GI Joe with Kung Fu grip for Xmas for the kids.
I've been on the fence about these for a while now. Your post pushed me over the edge and I had to order a "bunch".I'm old and have stocked up over many years, so realistically I don't really need anything to speak of.
However as an ultra mega maga, white, heterosexual Christian and stochastic terrorist I was compelled to purchase absolutely the most evil, dastardly magazine I could find; the infamous and terrifying Banana Clip!

If SHTF, a mag can be worth its weight in goldI've got what I need, why buy more.
Because we can't spell Perineum.You said, "taint".
My last order came in today as well, the last batch of my P365 17rd mags, and a case of the translucent green AK mags. I did buy a pile of drums a while back, I do like the magpul 9mm pcc drums for my PC charger, and the binary trigger on it loves them even more, but I got plenty of those.All of my magazine orders have come in now. I ordered more than I thought I had, LOL! I was happy I was able to pick up a 15rd mag for my new Hellcat. It took a lot of looking to hunt down one that was in stock.
I stayed away from picking up any drums. I had an AK drum 30 years ago and it was way too heavy to be practical. I know the new drums are plastic but for me 30 round sticks seem a lot more practical.
Not only heavy, but also most make holding the fore grip awkward. I had AK drums and Beta - C drums in the past and sold them. I had to keep the L drum for the Tommy gun when I had one, because you need one.I stayed away from picking up any drums. I had an AK drum 30 years ago and it was way too heavy to be practical.

Earlier this year I picked up a couple AR10 drum mags from Primary Arms for $60 each. I figure and AR 10 is not a light rifle to start with, so maybe it would be ok with drums from a fixed position.I stayed away from picking up any drums.

Not good for bullpups either - extremely awkward to reach around to get to the primary grip/trigger - would only work if it was offset, at least in the configuration I tried. I think a drum that extended further down might be ok.Not only heavy, but also most make holding the fore grip awkward.
My GMWH order arrived today. Extra MP-5 magazines and a pile of PMAGS to split with co-workers. Everything I ordered post-election has now been delivered.
I wish I had a way of determining how many extra magazines (and firearms) have been put into circulation in Oregon since the passage of BM114 that would not have been purchased if BM114 had failed or never made the ballot in the first place. If I were able to find that answer, I'd then send that number to Markie Mark Knutsen.
