I think you are seeing people flush with mags dumping their "pre-craziness" stashes. Most backorders are either a couple of months out or the vendor is not estimating delivery. You may also be seeing some people unloading excess mags they bought during their own fits of panic/opportunism.

Still waiting. I've heard early February as a good target date for those who have ordered stuff at the end of December. The backlog on mag orders is in the millions.
I am waiting for mine from Midway and from Larue Tactical that I ordered Dec 25th. I also ordered some Mako Group ones the other day so that might be forever!

I ordered 20 the same day, no notice yet.

I ordered a couple 30 rd and a couple 20 rd on Dec. 21st from Midway. No notice yet. Ordered several 30 rd from Mako on Jan 15th (while in stock), nothing from there either. But, they said it may be a bit before they ship.
