| The 5-round mag that came with my SA85M in 1996 needs a new spring. I use the mag at the range when shooting off the bags. I looked around but didn't find any 5-round springs for sale. Anybody know of a source? I could cut down a regular one if I had to. |
| Never mind. I took the spring out and compared it to a spring out of an unused 30-rd and the coils were spaced exactly the same - no spring set evident. It was a little dirty inside as I had previously only washed it out without disassembling, so now it holds better when loading only one round. I don't usually load one round only, but when I did, it popped out when locking the mag into the rifle. All good now. Not bad for a mag in use since 1996! |
