Frequently Asked Questions

Why are firearm magazines considered a good prepping investment right now?

Firearm magazines are becoming scarcer and more expensive, with limitations on purchase quantities. Unlike firearms and ammunition which have seen drastic price hikes, magazines are still relatively available and decently priced, making them a strategic investment for preparedness and potential barter.

How have prices for firearms and ammunition changed recently?

Firearms prices have significantly increased, with AR-15 setups costing around $1000 compared to $450 a year ago. Ammunition prices have also surged, with 9mm 50-round boxes now costing $50, a five-fold increase from previous prices, impacting accessibility.

What are the benefits of stocking up on extra magazines for preparedness?

Extra magazines are beneficial for redundancy, ensuring you have backups if mechanical items fail. They are also excellent barter items due to their light weight and compact size, and their value is likely to increase in a future where they are scarce.

Should I prioritize buying magazines over food and water for prepping?

No, food and water storage should be prioritized. However, if you have sufficient food and water supplies, investing in extra magazines is a reasonable secondary step, as they are still obtainable at a reasonable cost but may become harder to acquire in the future.
