WTF, why are USGI M14 Mags so expensive!

They are going for $50, some $90.

Are you kidding me?

I know the stuff for sale at cheaperthandirt is probably crap that won't load rounds, but does it really cost like, 30 to 70 bucks more to get working USGI version of M14 mags?

Seriously?

M14s are expensive as hell so it would kind of figure that the mags would be as well.

Proper NFA M14's are expensive.

SOCOM, Scout, M1A's are not.

I guess you can buy mags from Springfield Armory for less, but WTF is up with the USGI version going for way more?

They're probably just experiencing the same shortage as most other firearms-related products.
