I wanted to add that I don't blame Bravo Co. for this problem.

I'm wondering the same thing...the D&H springs are about the only thing I haven't upgraded. I'm not one for running extra power springs and usually prefer factory, but I'm curious as to what the life expectancy of these springs is.

I also have some D&H mags with Magpul followers and stock springs and they work fine.
I just bought eight Wolff mag springs to try out and use for my primary mags. I won't change all my mags to the power springs, they're fine, just replace them when they are worn out. |

bump...anyone have any issues with D&H springs? Are they GTG for a lifetime of light - medium duty service, or will they crap out sooner or later? What is the choice replacement spring? I assume a CS or ISMI spring would be best, but I don't want "extra power"...just a premium spring that won't wear out and become weak over time. The new MagPul followers will probably mask any issue that would arise so it would be nice to know what to expect from these babies.

I got 10 from bravo and they are actually much stiffer than the center mags I got a month before that.

Anyone care to guess how many cycles these springs are good for? I don't imagine 10 - 20 cycles on every new mag to check reliability with MagPul followers is any big deal...???

Jackal, don't worry those mag springs will last for a long time. Changing them out after 500-1000 loading/unloading cycles (15,000-30,000 rounds per mag) seems like a resonable point to me. Most shooters will not ever wear out the mag springs under normal use. Springs are cheap though so if it makes you feel better to change them more often by all means do it. They aren't on the website yet but around the end of the week we will have your choice mil-spec SS springs or enhanced chrome silicon at $2 per spring. |

I haven't had a problem with the 25 or so D&H (Bushy and Bravo Co. mags lumped in there too) mags I have.
I've put a couple magpul followers in a couple of them, but not for any reason in particular. WIZZO |
