[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 878221, member: 711"] Sitting didn't wear it out. Flexing did. Same for gun springs. The way to a dead spring if you can't wait for years is to either stretch or overcompress it. Stretching shotgun mag springs is an old standby in the "old wives' tale" arena. So is shortening the follower in a pistol mag to add one more round. (This usually results in other unintended consequences too.) Guaranteed quick death for the overcompressed spring. CB [/QUOTE]
