Well, managed to finally get some time to inventory things. One of the things I had been wanting to do wasa inventory the support gear for the AR’s. Very sobering. Im doing great on spare parts but not as well as I’d like on magazines. Heres a partial breaakdown:
(26) 30-rd GI mags
(12) Eagle 30-rd plasatic mags
(8) 20-rd GI mags
(2) 20 rd steel mags
(4) firing pins
(4) bolts
(1) bolt carrier
Assorted spare parats for lower receiver inc trigger,sear, springs, pins, etc.
(1) recoil spring
(1) recoil spring buffer
etc, etc, etc.

Not nearly as many mags as Id like. This puts me at about 24 mags per AR. I want at least 30 per. Why so many? Mags, my friends, are consumables they get bent, get lost, get dented, left behind, etc, etc. Additionally, I want enough mags that I can keep a dozen off-site at various resupply locations. So – at next weekends gun show I haave to see if I can pick up some more GI 30’s…usually they can be had for about $15 ea. Still too much $$$ in my opinion, but….

Might get a chance to go shooting tomorrow. We shall see..
