PANIC: One Million AR-15 Magazines On Backorder

According to the gun review site, "Haus of Guns," backorders for the Magpul AR-15 30-round magazine ("PMAG") have surpassed one million.

In a Facebook post dated today, January 9, Haus of Guns writes the following:

"Had breakfast with a buddy who has reasonably close ties to the Magpul family. Word is the great PMAG panic backorder of 2012/13 has topped 1 million at Magpul HQ."

Magpul is a designer and manufacturer of firearms accessories. The PMAG is one of their most popular products. It is a 30-round magazine designed for the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

Sales of firearms, ammunition and firearms accessories have surged in recent weeks over fears that the Obama administration will soon implement stricter gun laws.

Dianne Fenstien (D-Calif.) plans on introducing legislation that would ban military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Because the PMAG holds 30 rounds, it would fall under the definition of "high-capacity" in the Feinstein bill.

But, before any such legislation occurs, gun enthusiasts are scouring the nation to get their hands on what could be some of the last manufactured PMAGs.

If this doesn't wake up people in DC, they are beyond hope.

This backorder alone is 30 Million rounds ready to go!

People do not appreciate what they have until it is threatened.....this is one of those times.....long live the 2A!

That would mean I account for half of the backorders? I think they need to check their info.

Wonder why Bloomturd or Chris Christie don't enforce price gouging laws on this?

As much as I wish this were true, it's not.

Anecdotal evidence says this is closer to the truth than not. Brownells recently came out and said they sold 3.5 years worth of AR magazines in 72 hours. And that was many weeks ago. If anything, the frenzy has picked up.

Check out the rest of the thread I linked. Doesn't seem so.

Whatever it is, it's got to be huge. The figure I've seen is 3 million AR's in the country. If each owner tries to buy just two per rifle, that's six million mags. Plus, anyone buying a new rifle in the last few weeks will want to buy at least a few mags to go along with it. So it's easy to believe that the unfilled demand for PMAGs tops 1 million.

Especially when people are buying them by the pound.

I bet it is more than 1 million.

I ordered a few 10 packs from DSG Arms and am tracking the shipping of orders on arfcom. DSG were taking over 1000 orders a day until the sale ended on dec 31. Most orders were multiple 10 pack so DSG alone probably ordered 500K.
