Quick questions for you all, how long can I store loaded mags before I have to worry about having issues?



Assuming they are brand new, never been loaded mags and I load them up how long can I let them sit before I

should questions their reliablility?



I have a mix of Pmags and issue m4 mags.



And go.

Years and years, I've heard of ppl shooting mags that have been loaded for 40+ years.

I think the consensus on this is it is the number of compression cycles of the spring that wear it, not how long it is compressed.

But, then there is the faction that believes that the constant pressure on the feed lips will cause them to spread over time.

Put them in ammo cans with desiccants.

Load the rounds with gloves or the sweat from your hands will corrode the brass over time.

Should last longer than you will live.

Would that only apply to the metal mags, or could the pmags warp over time?
