No. You will get some people telling you this has been asked many times OP and it has. But you may not know that. Rest easy in knowing a spring gets worn out by repeated compressions and release of compression (ie...using the mag to shoot, etc.) Just sitting loaded will not hurt it. |

I left one loaded for a few years once. No problems.

I figured it had, but when I ran a search on the word "loaded" in the 'Magazines" sub-forum, it came up with zero hits. Sorry if this is a highly redundant thread. Appreciate your response. Sounds just like handgun spring reasoning. As a handgun guy getting his first semi-auto rifle, I guess I have a lot of simple questions. I've tried to spend time in the FAQ, and will do some more. Thanks again. |

Quoted: Any issues with keeping these mags loaded for extended periods of time (months+)? Spring problems? no problems at all |

Shouldn't be any spring problems at all. Personally, I'd put the cap on it to save pressure on the feed lips (if the magazine isn't going to be left actually in a gun). May not be necessary at all; but it can't hurt.

I had some G.I. RevMs loaded for almost 7 years. No trouble.
