Or if you’re attempting to go through the Newark airport.

or New Delhi.

Someone at wife's church got "caught" with 3 rounds of .45 in their bag and spent 2 months in an Indian prison there.

So I think I'm going to go for 5 UMP mags and at least 5 mags for the Z43p. Problem is the Z43p mags are $60 each.

How do you store/transport your mags?

I use these for AR and AK. Black for AR and tan for AK. Holds 13 mags I think?

Has a nice window so you can label the caliber/etc.

The "wallets" on the same page work great for pistol mags.

Free shipping over $35.

Depends on my gun. My Glocks have lots of mags because I hate reloading. AR and 300BO are stacked deep. 30 rounders are loaded to 25 a piece. All my 22’s have several. If there is a sale on mags, I scoop some up.

I think you can never have too many.

Imagine how much they'll be in three years.

True. I guess its a guessing game as to which will go up in price more, mags or ammo. I suppose it would be harder to ban ammo, so mags it is. My gun money is depleted with the purchase of the Z43p so I am trying to best allocated what I have left to play with until this summer.

It's easier to sell mags and buy ammo than vice versa.

I’ve gone through Newark airport with 3 full mags on hundreds of occasions! LOL
It only takes once with a ticket agent that doesn’t know the law, ask me how I know.:(

It depends on the gun. Ar mags are easy to stack deep. Couple dozen pmags of various styles, lancers, aluminum GI mags, old 20 rounders, cetme L mags that also function in the AR... they start to add up with so many available. I only have 3 of my 300blk specific mags, but in a pinch any of the ar mags would function obviously. I think I have 7 or 8 swiss san mags for the 551. They arent cheap, but id like to get more.
Ive got 6 B&T mags for the apc9. Also not cheap but at the volume im shooting this thing I will get more and store them. I usually keep 3-5 mags per pistol. Its good to keep extra rimfire mags laying around as they get dirty and start to malfunction sooner.

Mags are like ammo. If at any time you know how much or how many you have....you don't have enough.

Yeah, nj isn’t very good about following firearms code 2c for civilians.
