| Is it ok to store mags loaded or will it ruin the springs? I have a few loaded and I dont want to damage them. |

Can we sticky this is big red bold letters? This is asked a lot.
Keeping a magazine loaded has no significant effect on the spring. As far as we know, it will never cause it to become inoperable. There are accounts of magazines being loaded since World War One, and still functioning fine. IF the springs EVER become damaged from remaining loaded.... your great grand children will be the first to know. It is the action of loading and unloading the wears out springs. |
