Let the games begin! They're out at all the major Distributors as well (Lipsey's, RSR, Sports South, Davidson's, Williams, Zanders, etc.). I'm not sure if it's an actual shortage or a temporary blip of demand outpacing supply, but 5.56 PMags will be next for sure.
AR .308 Magazines
1731
30
I just ordered a .308 AR, which I've never owned before, but everybody seems to be out of magazines for them. I ordered some D&H from Brownell's, but nobody else seems to have anything over 10 rounds - Bud's, PSA, Midway, etc.
Is there an .308 AR Magazine shortage I don't know about? Or has there been a run on magazines since the Parkland shooting?

Seems the run on AR bits has already begun. Personally, I really like Knights magazines, but they are expensive and I only have a few. Lancer comes in second, I’ve had better luck with them than the metal mags. PMags bring up the end of the list for me.
Primary Arms had a few available. GunMag Warehouse is another good place to look. Stay away from the ProMag brand. Surplus Ammo is another place to look.

I ordered a bunch of AR mags about 2 weeks ago and realized that the better liked options already sold out. Talked to PrimaryArms sales chat and they confirmed that mags and lowers are flying of the shelves again. So I added another lower to my stash. Things are getting dicey again, that's for sure.
My favorite models are translucent / smoked Lancers.

These mags will ONLY work in the old style Armalite and the Noveske N6 rifles. They are essentially modified M14 mags. Not comparable with any AR that accepts PMags

Must have been a run. I just ordered some 308 PMAGs a couple weeks ago and they were in stock everywhere. Almost gave the LANCER L7AWMs a shot. But I know the PMAGs work so I didn't risk it.

I'm all set on mags in my book, I'm satisfied. But I did stock up on more lowers Friday. Something just told me to. Just used the last of seven bought the end if 16.
How many more lowers will you get?

I ordered 8 more Andersons. I like them, have never had a problem yet and they match up well with any upper I've used so far. Aero and Rock River. Dam .....they've sold out of all lowers already. I'd still get on the notify me list. Remember in '16 when sale price was 29.99

Yeah, I suspect a "OMG a ban is coming!" bump in sales and people keep far fewer .308 AR mags in stock, if any, so those sold out fast.
