Id replace them when you replace your worn out barrel.

Same reason it doesnt hurt to keep magazined loaded for years at a time. If you pull the trigger enough to wear out a barrel, you pulled the trigger and wore the springs enough to replace them. |

You're wrong about the magazines. While it is true that springs that the springs in most single-stack magazines like 1911 magazine will not usually wear out if left alone that is because when they are loaded they are not constricting the springs past their maximum. AR15 and for that matter most double-stack magazines push the springs past their natural limits. This problem can be helped if you down load your magazines but leaving them loaded for long periods will wear out your magazines.

How do you know than single stack 1911 springs are not pushed beyond their limit and that AR and all other double stack mag springs are? |

Hmm, trust someone with 17 posts or a well respected industry partner?? I'll go with ADCO, you're not going to hurt the springs from just leaving the mags loaded.

Not even that, but the fact that so many of us leave our mags loaded for both AR's and carry pieces and I have never heard of someone wearing out a spring that way. For all I know he may be some sort of mechanical engineer who specializes in springs(not very likely). I'd just like to hear his rational/see proof. |

I've had nearly every magazine I own loaded from the minute I got them, and guess what. They all work absolutely fine. |

From my AR mags, to XD, Glock, 1911, etc. |

Only if you can tell if you barrel is worn out. If memory serves you should change at 15K. So change them at 10K . Those that burn out barrels may get better mileage 458 |
