There are tons of places you can get them online, MidwayUSA, Brownells, Cheaper Than Dirt, Surplus Ammo, and the list goes on. They're great fillers, they can help you round an order up to an even-ish number and they don't usually affect the shipping cost.

EVERYBODY is pro-gun, some just don't know it. When an anti-gun person is in trouble, the first thing they do is call 911 and demand that they send somebody with a gun!

I got 4 from botach... There are 15 and 20% off coupons out there but I'm not thrilled with the service from Botach.. They took a few days to ship and then only after nagging and one item was back ordered and they only told me after they shipped the other items... Bad stock tracking. Might be worth the savings if you don't mind waiting but buyer beware, they have not received very good reviews.
I got the PMags for $14.20 from Midway along with some other stuff.
The shipment was at my house in 4 days, not to bad if you ask me

Primary Arms has them for $14.20 free shipping. I'd trust them more over Botach. Had a good experience with them for the small items I've purchased so far. Pondering their weapon light which is only about $80 with strip switch and mount...made in China though 
Are magpull mags all the same?
One of my distributors has them, but they have smith & wesson M&p15 on the mag. When the price is right I could care less if they all work the same way.

They're good to do business with too.
I don't have a problem with stuff made in China as long as it's quality. My guess is for $80 the quality isn't going to be there. I have a couple 4 sevens (4sevens.com) lights, and they are well-made and not too expensive. I'm sure there are other decent brands too, but I'm not terribly familiar with other brands.
