Big Tex has a bunch as well. I'm already pretty well stocked for AR mags, but I made a point to buy some AK PMags to replace the hodgepodge of combloc steel and bakelite mags I'd been using off-and-on for years.

I loaded up basically all of my defensive/soft point 223/5.56 into magazines at some point during the pandemic (maybe before I moved to my new place). Didn't have a huge stock so its maybe a dozen or so, mix of 20s and 30s.
I do have a lot of unloaded mags tucked away. I think 140 ish at last count, mostly 30s, a few dozen 20s and a small mix of 10s/15s. I may yet need more, though resupplying is a bit more, uh, legally challenging in my state.
Probably in the minority, but I don't have a prepper's dream stash.
For my Glocks & ARs, per individual gun;
5x vetted "go to war" mags, minimal use.
10x high use training mags.
20x new in wrapper.
1 don't actually know how many AR mags I own.... There are multiple milk crates and wooden grenade crates full of them stacked up in my gun room.

I don't know how many mags I own either. I need to buy a few more. I'm to the point of trying to get a couple or three standard cap mags for pistols I might own someday (P07, G21, 92 compact, CZ75 compact, etc), but I still feel a strong compulsion to buy more Glock and AR mags. I go years at a time without shooting an AR, so I know I'm not being rational about the AR mags.

TargetSportsUSA semi-regularly gets shipments of PMAG 30 AR/M4 GEN M3 Windows in MCT for 12.99 USD each, which is better than any other place I've seen (particularly with the free shipping from my Prime account).
Also good if you have Prime and have free shipping is their .50 cal ammo cans, factory new for <15 USD (.30 cal is <14 USD).
I’ve got about 30 AR mags in action and 40 in the wrapper. A little less for Glock 19/17 mags. Not sure if that’s enough to last the rest of my life (at the rate I shoot AR’s it probably is) but I’m good for quite a while.
I expected a shortage last year which never came, and I’m still preaching to get while the gettin’s good. Don’t be like the people who didn’t load up on ammo last spring. It’s all about Covid and the economy now, but once the Eye of Sauron turns back to guns it’ll be a mad scramble.
