| Does anyone know if there is a recommended length not to go beyond when storing loaded PMags? I have about 15 loaded mags that I've had stored for about a year now and I'm curious if this could cause issues with the springs. |

Nope you will be fine.. Springs wear of the continuous cycling. (compressing / expanding). Keeping them in one state (in your case compressed) will not wear the spring out or do any damage. Just keep the Pmag cover on the mags so the feed lips dont get damaged and you will be good to go for many years to come. |

Really though. From an engineering perspective will you have no issues of bulging of the magazine or weak springs for storing mags loaded for 10 years? I have stored old Colt 20 rounders for 10 years and they fed without a beat. Im assuming the same function from a P MAG. My main concern would be the drop free functioning from bulging after an extended time being pre loaded. |
