[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1377956, member: 11766"] The springs... pretty much what's been already stated. Expecially for the stacked mags. Cycling eventually wears out a spring. I would worry about the feed lips going out of spec. The upward force of the compressed spring trying to shove the cartridges up and out was thought to cause failure in the early mil contract M16 magazines. If you had a pistol mag that was not heat treated correctly.. the same issue could occur. If I was really worried about this issue (and I'm not --- the few "loaded" mags I keep get shot off a few times a year) I'd short load the mag a couple of cartridges. [/QUOTE]
