| I think I've settled on Magpul gen 3 followers for my preban mags. All of them need a overhaul. Whose got the best deal on some stainless steel springs for them? |

I'd go with Brownells stainless or SAW red. The SAW red springs are kick-ass.

I've never used 'em, but nobody whines about KAC magazines. http://shop.knightarmco.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=KM25646 |

Quoted:
I'm not an expert on them by any stretch, but from what I've read, the Chrome-Silicon springs supposedly have a longer life-expectancy (regarding strength & resilience) than the stainless steel ones. They may, but they are also prone to corrosion which kills springs in short order. A good stainless spring will likely last as long as those old mag bodies are going to. |

A+ Nice find! |
