I have a couple dozen Colt and Simmonds magazines that are 40-50 years old. I just ordered 30 of these to give them new life.

.99 for a stainless steel magazine spring. I've looked before for springs and everyone was OOS except Wolf Springs @ $5 a spring.

Been a while since I ordered any but the ones I got back then were a matched to the old 20 round springs and worked well.

Good to know. The magazines I'm needing them for are causing FTF issues. They were left loaded for decades I know the springs have weakened.

Magazines Springs fit and function good. I tried to compare them side by side. The new ones are about 5/8" longer and when I took my index fingers alone I could compress the old one to 4" until it popped out under stress. The new one I could only compress 5". I did this several times. Now if the snow and 20* temp would let up I'll test a few rounds down range.
Note- these mags have solid aluminum followers.

I placed an order for some wolff gun springs a couple weeks ago but they haven't shipped yet, maybe I'll try a few of these.  Anyone know who might have some floor plates in stock?

Nobody as of late.


I did see some in the EE this week.

I guess it pays to just scroll through pages of stuff.  I've been looking for floor plates for a couple of weeks now with no success, apparently I should've been searching for "bottoms" instead of "floor plates".

Says only 8 left in stock.

Better buy those "bottoms".
