They will dry up, you can unload them for triple what you paid.
There are millions of people with ar15s and the one or two mags the rifle came with. When ban talk heats up, they suddenly want 30rd, 50rd, drums, armor piercing rds from the 90s, all sorts of stuff they could have bought for years.
You unload the pmags you bought this year in 2019 and really take em to the bank.
But buy lancers also, buy a whole bunch, buy some brownells aluminum. Stack em high. Especially since they are plastic. I have over 20 metal surplus mags for all my rifles. I would buy more if I did not know they would last for ever and its enough.

30 or so 30rd mags split between magpul and D&H aluminum, and a handful more of thermold, tapco, etc...
I might buy more. PSA is pretty much giving them away, so no reason not to.

Wife says "Buy what you want now." Although I really don't see any changes coming (they might play with the age requirement, that seems to be the most likely) like a new AWB or federal magazine ban when she tells me to spend money on guns I never let a crisis go to waste.
PSA has AK mags for 10.99 ea and AR mags for 9.99 ea. and Glock 22 mags for (dang) 23.78. When did they get so expensive?
Any of you deal hunters know anywhere cheaper? Now to look for ammo...
Buy the important parts. Buy 2 ar 15 recievers, 2 ak recievers. I would go get two aero precision. I would get an ar15 and a 308 reciever.
One 7.62x39 and one 5.45x39

Try to scrounge up the money for two total minimu, put them in the safe and in one year, 5 years who knows you can build them. Cheap insurance.

I'm sorry, i wasn't clear.
It sucks currently being poor and unable to buy MORE than what i already have.
I've got an A1 build, an m4 build, a couple sbr builds, a couple pistol builds, and some others that don't fit any of those categories. and a few more lowers packed away...
I'd have more if I didn't give a few away at christmas...

i like that idea about AK receivers though... I should pack a few of those away and worry about build kits later.
know of any in 7.62x39?

I have not kept up on ak builds lately to know what the cool kids buy, but nodak used to be considered a good quality source. There are 80% ak receivers as well that are out now, and do not forget about flats, they can be found under 30 bucks.
I have been tempted to pick up a few just because I think I have 30-40 years more of shooting in my, who knows what Ill need in 20 years.
I learned from my dad uncles, old neighbors etc about cheap import guns lik hk rifles, uzis etc in the 80s they curse themselves for not buying, or not buying more of. I think my dad had 6 mak90s and 6 sks at one time total price around $1200-1400. My uncle shows me old ads of HKs for so cheap I want to puke.
I'd worry about build kits first, they are already slowing down/getting more expensive. US made receivers have never faltered
Pick up FAL parts while you can. They are quickly going away
Not trying to start an argument, but having lived through those MAJOR changes in gun laws, what have you seen since other than a couple freak outs? Where we think changes are coming and buy up everything we can, only being our own worst enemies. The only actual bans I can think of are the Russian import bans. Like I said, not trying to start and argument, only looking at the other side.
I picked up a fal clone right AFTER the 2008 election because I always wanted one, and the price did not change. Aks and ar15 were up double to triple price.
Fals, hk91/ptr, 308 saigas, did not go up even $20.
I suggest getting what you want, but for $1100 fal clone you could buy that much in blemish ar15 lowers and triple your money.
Kind of, its like saying when the economy sinks, ok everyone, calm down, go back to work, keep spending money and your 401k will go back up, nothing to worry about.
Its not how it works.
They banned saturday night specials, and full autos. They banned chinese handguns and rifles. They banned armour piericing rds. They are going to ban bump stocks. They had the 1994 ban.
