[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1874720, member: 711"] [COLOR="#FF0000"][/COLOR] This advice is IBS (internert bull$h!t) Springs wear out from overcompression, stretching, and use. Just sitting with a full mag has essentially zero effect on spring life/strength. If it's the wrong spring (which I doubt) replace it, preferably with one from Wolff. A few years ago someone found some loaded 1911 mags from WW II. They all fed just fine, or so a fairly well documented internet story said. (IBS? possibly) What is really provable is the characteristics of spring steel. Engineers will tell you the truth. Fastest death=stretching. Next comes overcompression, often from modifying mag followers to allow one more round in a mag. CB [/QUOTE]
