Why are meme mags so expensive? I know they have more limited production but it's still basically just a chunk of polymer with a spring and follower.

Do you know how hard it is to make a (reliably) functioning drum mag?

Pretty hard.

Honestly though at only 60rds it's not worth it if you could get a reliable casket mag desu.

It is essentially like overpriced dumb audiophile shit

By that logic, MP5s are just a bunch of stamped steel and some milled bits.

Lots of reasons, user.

you answered your own fucking question

off to bed, gramps

You want the actual reason? Because people will pay for them. If humans weren't so bad at falling for memes, they'd be selling the things for $50.

Alright, I get what you're saying, but still, 5X the price of two Pmags? What could the price go down to if they started getting purchased in large numbers by civilians and militaries?

Never have a heard of such a thing. Please point me into the direction of one of those.

A standard P-Mag is literally 3 injection molded parts and a spring. A drum magazine has anywhere between 10-20 injection molded parts.

When you talk about the cost of a mass produced, largely plastic product you have to realize that the vast, vast, vast majority of the cost to produce that product stems from the production and verification of the mold and the development of the production process (figuring out the timing, temperature, and cycle speed of the injection molding process). A product like a drum magazine requires far more molds than a stick magazine which means the up front cost to begin production is an order of magnitude greater than that of producing P-Mags. Combine that with the inherently reduced demand for drum magazines and the further reduction of demand due to the inherently higher pricepoint and you arrive at the answer for why they are so much more expensive than standard P-Mags.
