of full mags.  Im sure this has been covered, but enlighten me.

Is it wise to change the mags over to the "long term storage springs"  I kept mine full for 6 months in bosnia, with the exception of a couple layouts, they stayed full.  

Any help, Hive?

A 20mm ammo can works very well. IIRC (mine is in a storage locker at the moment) you can squeeze 6 rows of 6 upright standing mags nearly flush, with room to stack a few things on top of the mags. It may rub the finish a tad in such close proximity, but WTF.  Loaded 30s can stay loaded without supervision/ammo changes, etc. I wouldn't fool with the springs unless you are replacing old springs AND want the added assurance for SHTF.

so just leaving the mags loaded with regular springs is fine then?

yes

loading/unloading the mags repeadely wears them down

just load your mags full up, put them in an ammo can w/ some dessicants, and seal it up till you need it for shft or teftwawki
