Concur with all the ammo sources cited. As for your question on magazines, you need to specify the model of firearm and capacity. Battle rifle calibers (7.62x51 NATO or 7.62x54R or .30-06 Springfield) are usually 20 rounds standard and up to 30 rounds. The 30 round capacities can raise the rifle off the ground and may be cumbersome. Lesser capacities than 20 are also available.

The .223 Remington or 5.56x45 NATO (or similar intermediate calibers) come in 20 or 30 round types as standard. Magazines can be aluminum, steel, or polymer. Greater or lesser capacities are available.

Pistol calibers and capacities are all over the map due to frame size and whether the frame is a single column or double column feed.

Saiga shotguns are modified AKs and take box magazines or drums of differing capacities and gages.

Thank you. Beretta 9 fs, 30 rnd. steel .223.

By the way, I’m soon putting an ad in the paper to sell all of my guns - private sale only. I do a lot of boating and figure I might as well not tempt fate.
