Since I'm new to the AR15/M4 world I'm curious about how many magazines everyone has. How many do you keep loaded? I remember a picture someone posted that must have had at least 50 loaded mags in a safe. Do you only have a few or less than 10 mags and hundreds or thousands of rounds?

Well, I can hardly stockpile any .223 if you and I keep shooting it! :)

I have about 8-10 magazines and about 1000 rounds at the moment.

Adequate amounts of both.

I just finished building my first AR last night. I have 3 30rd mags loaded and about 400rds under the bed...for now.

Since I still haven't built my AR yet, this is AKs...but every steel surplus magazine I have is loaded. Its a great way to store the rounds. Not sure how many I have but I know its more than 10 and they're all loaded.

I know how many magazines I have for my AR 15s. All of them are loaded with the exception of the ones I need to upgrade the followers. That's all I have to say about this.

That was your picture of all those magazines in the safe, wasn't it?

I'll never tell.

It's more than 10 and less than 100.

Is this yours?

I have 15-20 but I consider AR magazines a semi-disposable component, like socks.

I have:
18-30 rounders
7-20 rounders
4-10 rounders
All the mags are loaded with either .223, 5.56, or 300 BLK.
Also a few hundred rounds of .223/5.56 and about 10 boxes of 300 BLK. I had more but I went shootin' the other day.

I keep 4-30 rnd mags loaded with 5.56 and i have 2x420-rnd cans of 5.56. I cant imagine I'd need even that much at home especially with all my pistols loaded.

Apparently you have not been informed of the pending zombie apocalypse.

Just updating, I now have 10 fully loaded mags, and 1000 extra rounds

Usually, no more than this (for the AR anyway):
