[QUOTE="billt, post: 3209387, member: 5188"] I've purchased several 20 round Ruger Mini 14 magazines on sale for $30.00 or less. You have to watch for sales. Buying cheaper magazines isn't a viable option if they don't work. Which few if any do. Magazines for AR's are cheaper because it's a military weapon. It's much the same with ammo. 5.56 is way cheaper than .222 Remington for the same reason. The Mini is a consumer produced rifle. So magazine cost will be higher. But I doubt it pushes the gun to unaffordability. Any semi auto .223 / 5.56 MM is going to burn through ammunition. That will determine affordability far more than magazine cost will. In civilian use a well cared for magazine will last all but indefinitely. It's not necessary to own dozens of them. Anyone who can afford to buy and shoot an AR can do the same with a Mini 14.
