USGI mag springs are stainless steel and you could get them from Magpul, 44Mag, C Products, if you want the springs made by Colt they're available from Specialized Armament Warehouse.

The Magpul PMAGs are available from AR15.com dealers and the links are on top of the web pages like, Bravo Company USA, Rainier Arms, AIM, 44Mag, Brownells, SKD, PK Firearms, etc.

You might also want to send him some Magpul generation 3 anti-tilt mag followers which will greatly improve the reliability of his mags, they're available from the noted dealers that I mentioned.

Tell your son thanks for his service and stay safe.

There really is no need to replace the springs. In fact, commercial replacement springs may not be as good as the ones your planning to replace.
They don't go "bad" unless they have been twisted/damaged by removeal replacement into the magazine body, or if they have been stretched.
If he has "problem" magazines, he should report via his chain of command....replacement magazines are readily available.

Hotgun

Magpul GenIII followers made a world of difference with my older, beat to snot mags.

DockedWages, I have twelve extra MagPul GenIII followers that I would be happy to donate to your son. They are new in package and have never been used. If you want them, just shoot me an e-mail or an IM with your shipping address and I'd be happy to send them to you-and then you could put them in your care package to your son

Like Hotgun said, your son should be able to get new mags on request-but is that isn't an option for whatever reason I would consider it an honor to help out however I can. Just say the word and they're yours.

Wolff springs are pretty highly regarded if you want to look at them as well.
