I have a variety of AR mags...lots of the older aluminum GI mags, some 18 year old Thermolds, P Mags, and Brownells in house version mags. They all work each and every time, and some have seen some serious use and abuse. My criteria is simple...they gotta work or they are trash...   My current preference is P Mag (quality product and I appreciate their integrity :usa: ) and Brownell's in house 20 round mags (they work and I simply have an affinity for 20 rounders).

While not Magpul, I just received notice from Brownell's that they're shipping my backordered Brownell's 20 rd AR mags (bulk pack of 10) and my backordered G 17 mags (bulk pack of 3). Great pricing (pre-madness)... but heck, I have several items backordered from several sites... I had forgotten about these... :pleased:     So, if they are shipping these, hopefully it indicates the supply lines are improving.

Thanks Dolomite, that's good to know.   orientalexpress, I guess it depends on your location. My local WM is Turkey Creek in Knoxville. They rarely have 12g field loads. They occasionally have 20g...but 12g is pretty scarce there.

    I may be wrong, but I think they only list what they have in stock.   Eventually....maybe... :squint:

  Way back in normal times...of only a few months ago... I ordered the majority of my ammo and reloading supplies fron [url=https://www.grafs.com/retail/index/index]Graf's[/url]. Great company with excellent customer service. I've also ordered from [url=http://www.midwayusa.com/] Midway[/url] for a very long time.   But Who knows what the "new norm" will look like? :2cents:

Thank you both for the updates.  :up: 

Very nice work and craftsmanship George! :up:   Thank you for sharing the photo with us.     I would think a BX-25 holder would be pretty cool as well.

See what happens when people make assumptions! LOL.   Thanks sirdanny. Much obliged. :up:   Link is now bookmarked and verified.

I'm lucky to have a decent job these days wOlfattack. :pleased:   I believe at one time, fairly recently, David and Sam had a website listed here. I had bookmarked it, but the link went dead. I have to assume they closed their site.   I know they are hard working folks and I appreciate what they do for our community.

Our thoughts and Prayers for a full and speedy recovery. Prayers are also out for the family. God Bless.

    I have absolutely no doubt you are correct, and I look forward to meeting David and doing business with him. I definitely wish to support our members and keep my business dealings as local as possible.   My circumstances have me working every other weekend....Fri-Sat-Sun 12 hour shifts. It seems that I work each weekend David is at one of the gunshows in East TN. My circumstances aren't likely to change (I gotta work :cool: ), but I hope that my weekends may coincide with David's being in the region. I have a feeling I'm not the only person in that situation.     David's reputation for fairness and honesty is second to none. But I need to keep reloading and shooting until that opportunity presents itself. So I'm thankful there are alternatives available and that members post the info here. :2cents:

Suspension of disbelief my Friend. It should be entertaining. :pleased:

Anybody a fan of [url=http://www.amazon.com/Lights-Out-David-Crawford/dp/0615427359]Lights Out by David Crawford[/url]?   I heard about this today on Spirko’s “Survival Podcast”.     [url=http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lights-out-saga]Lights Out Saga website[/url]     [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8dbTPLrGHc]Heroes Will Rise[/url]   While I found “One Second After” top tier, I thoroughly enjoyed “Lights Out”. I definitely hope this comes to fruition.   It’s my understanding that the movie will be in 2 segments, possibly 3. I believe there is definitely an audience for this.   Time will tell. :pleased:

Things appear to be opening up just a bit. Over the past couple of weeks I've been able to pick up Federal Small pistol primers from Midway at $27.00/1000 and Tula Small Rifle primers at $20.59/1000 at Graf's. Of course there's the Hazmat fee and shipping. Both of these were via e-mail alerts and Gunbot.   Mind you, you have to pretty much be sitting at your computer when the info comes in, but it looks better than it did a month ago.         I guess I've been fortunate, but I haven't paid panic pricing for anything, and don't plan too either as I've been putting a bit by month to month since the last madness .   Good Lord Willin' I won't eat those words! :ugh:  LOL

Sorry to tag this on, but PSA has some 7.62x39 as I type this. It's at $.35/rd or $6.99/20.   Not great...but available if you have the need. I'm good, but it seems plenty of folks are still looking...   [url=http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/checkout/cart/configure/id/2369365/] 7.62x39 PSA[/url]

It's a crying shame, no doubt. But at least there are a few folks left in Colorado with some integrity.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj2VbhuICeY&feature=youtu.be       As with any unjust law, there is in fact a Duty to disobedience.

I actually saw that earlier this morning...and laughed. :cool:   This too shall pass. And a lot of us will remember.

Steve's pages is an excellent resource. I've download a metric s***ton of manuals from there. :pleased:

Good grief. The talking heads will do or say anything to raise the drama level. :rant:   I don't fault the shooting range spokesperson...insurance and liability are a consideration for all ranges. Just don't ask-don't tell...   But the public at large is relatively clueless and will buy into this garbage.

bigwakes;   The Enemies Trilogy is excellent and downright prescient. :up:   I ordered Bracken's [url=http://www.amazon.com/Castigo-Cay-Matthew-Bracken/dp/0972831045/ref=la_B00350B7EU_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1363165708&sr=1-4] Castigo Cay[/url] and it should arrive today. I'm looking forward to reading it.

Rich Davis is an innovative fellow. He's been doing body armor demonstration for a number of years. It has made a huge impact (pun intended) on the rise of his Second Chance body armor company to becoming an industry leader.   Thanks for the vids Dolomite. And thanks for the excellent information and discussion folks. :up:

TMF;   I think your concerns mirror the concerns of the majority here.   I know I have a personal baseline of stored ammo that I am not comfortable going below. For each of us that is a relative number as we each have a set of perceived needs. I too am shooting more .22 than is my norm. It's my chosen method for skills maintenance. I reload, and have a decent supply of components. But when availability is a challenge (understatement) it certainly increases anxiety for folks.   I believe your theory is spot on kj4 :up:

I find it interesting as well.   Aside from the amazing "listing then instantly sold out" online purchases, it is good to see ammo hitting the stores us regular joes frequent.   :2cents:

Thanks for posting the head's up Blizzard. :up:   It's remarkable how fast ammo goes online...You pretty much have to have an account set up...be logged in...see the ammo...and place the order...then breath. :cool:   But at least there is some ammo and reloading supplies starting to trickle in.

Very Nice Spots! Congratulations.   Looks like you got an excellent deal as well. Well done Good Sir.  :up:
