Firearm accessories supplier Brownells says that it's experiencing "unprecedented" sales of magazines.
Brownells has sold 3 1/2 years worth of PMAG magazines in just 72 hours, according to a statement posted from the company's official account on gun owner forum AR-15.com.
It also says that it has sold "an even greater amount" of its own Brownells magazines.
PMAGs, manufactured by Magpul, are used with AR-15/M4/M16 compatible weapons.
"Its rugged design has made it as one of the top performers in the small-arms accessory arena, according to combat veterans who credit the PMAG with drastically improving the reliability of the M4," writes Matthew Cox at Military.com.
The U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps each recently banned the magazines in favor of government-issued ones, which sparked an outcry.
The magazine grab comes shortly after the devastating shootings in Newtown, CT, which took the lives of 26 people, mostly children.
Here's the full statement from Brownell, attributed to the president of the family-owned company Pete Brownell:

Ping!
“Stimulus” we can believe in!
Attention lefties -
people aren’t buying all this hardware to peacefully hand it over when you come for it.
You know the “progressives” are heavily invested in any publicly traded gun stocks.
It sucks to not have something in the basket when trick or treaters come knocking.
Elsewhere there was an article by some leftie mouth-breather that we evil gun-toters didn’t even deserve the right to participate in the discussion. I think that this article stands as a poignant response to that suggestion.
Excellent.
Join the club.
I’ll have to trick-or-treat at your house.
Just think how much lower if one subtracts all gun and accessory sales!
Gun shoppers should be congratulated for stimulating the economy.
Come and Take It, you Libturds !!!!!!!
The lines are being drawn. And you know what? It's about damned time.

I don’t mind a bit. “The lines are being drawn”, yes, there are a bunch of those lines.
I call them “winnowing forks”.
Sarah Palin, life issues, marriage definition, etc - all are winnowing forks which don’t allow you to be neutral.
Matthew 3:12
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
there was a thread here which claimed that 3d printers could produce these things on demand. IOW the supply was as unlimited as doritoes.
I ordered a 4-pack of 30-round Magpuls a few days before the shootings. For once I was lucky. If only I had ordered a few hundred rounds of .223.
I paid 60 bucks for a magpul yesterday. Can’t even find them
