[QUOTE="billt, post: 3209735, member: 5188"] AR magazines are cheaper than others like the Mini, for the same reason 5.56 MM is cheaper than .243 Winchester. It's a military produced weapon and round. AR / M-16 magazines are produced by the millions. Both in plastic by military contractors like Mag-Pul, and in U.S.G.I. Aluminum models, that are produced by literally dozens of different manufacturers. Naturally they're going to be cheaper than ANYTHING made for just the civilian market which is much smaller. It's the same reason you can buy surplus .50 BMG ammo for $2.50 a round. But much less powerful .416 Rigby ammo can run over $200.00 for a box of twenty. Volume assures lower cost per unit. And no one uses as much volume as the U.S. military. [/QUOTE]
