Quoted:
Is the only difference between the 30rd and 20rd mags springs the length? I looking for 20rd straight mag springs $5 for a 20rd mag spring is a bit much. CDNN has cheap springs but the $9 shipping seems a bit much Brownells has 6-pack rebuild kits that include followers and floorplates for $12.99. They don't appear to have 20-round springs by themselves, though. I didn't check shipping, but there might be codes for free shipping out there. http://www.brownells.com/magazines/rifle-magazines/magazine-parts/magazine-kits/ar-15-m16-usgi-20rd-ss-magazine-rebuild-kit-prod71739.aspx EDIT: As for your first question... I don't know, but I'm guessing there's more to it than the length. Were you looking at buying some 30-round springs and cutting them down to 20-round size? |

I had found those at Brownells.
I have some old 20rd straight with the Al followers so I really dont need new followers or floor plates. Yes I was looking at buying some 30rd springs for less than $2 each and cutting them down Problem is I don't have any metal 30rd mags to compare the springs to |

I just took some photos. I'll upload them in a bit. The short story is that the 20rd SS spring looks exactly like the 30rd SS spring, only longer. The distance between coils appears to be identical, visually anyway.
EDIT: Actually, they are two different colors. The 20rd spring is silver. The 30rd spring is gold. Pics incoming in next posts. |
