Syd,

In my experience(s), I've found that "springs" tend to react to the following:

When compressed, as long as they are not subjected to numerous (mainly radical) temp changes, they are OK and degradation is minimal.

The same goes for the relaxed state.

Cycling will reduce their resiliency over time and even more so when at elevated temps.

I own some mags that are VERY old and they run just fine, some have been "loaded" on and off for a long time.

My only question/concern is what is the composition of the one in question?

Later
Martin
