Magazine Storage
November 14th, 2008
After receiving my 20 C-Products magazines, I ordered some Federal XM193 last week. Natchez Shooters Supply sent me 500 rounds for about $215 shipped to my door. This weekend I plan to load up all of those magazines and figure out a way to store them.
This brings me to the point of the post. I need a bag that would hold 15-20 loaded magazines. Preferably something made specifically for the job. It would be nice if it had a shoulder strap and a zippered top, so it could be carried easily. Any suggestions?
The mags will be loaded with 28 rounds a piece, and for now they will be stored in the closed cardboard box they came in. This is our family’s primary SHTF gun, so I really want to get the mags situated in a easily transportable storage solution as soon as possible.
Update:
Well, I did find this.
It is an 8 mag bag apparently. A couple of these with the shoulder straps tied together might be ok.

I’ve been concerned about the same thing and I’m equally befuddled at the answer.
I’m looking at vests that store a couple-three in the easy-to-reach spots, but let’s face it, when SHTF, you’re not wanting to attract attention to yourself by having AR mags strapped to your chest for all to see, but therein lies the problem, which is of more concern, laying low or quick reloads?
When you figger it out, let me know.
Roger that lol.
I am more concerned with grab and go functionality right now. The ability to grab my AR, and a bag with 500 loaded rounds in magazines would be great. Realistically if one actually needs that many rounds in a fight, you are obviously outnumbered and surely dead.
The ability to easily transport that amount of ammo, is valuable it seems. It keeps your weapon from becoming a plastic club for a long time, in the event of prolonged problems.
We have an alternate location to go to if need be, but defending the home front is our main plan, unless it becomes completely untenable. At that point, quickly grabbing necessary items would be of utmost importance it seems.
Roger that. Thanks for the link.
A subject that will probably keep me on the lookout for options. Never a perfect fit, just getting closer.
I very liked this post. Can I copy it to my site?
Thanks in advance.
