Did you ever have one of those gun things you intended to do, but kept forgetting
to do them when it would be easy? I have some 15 round M1 Carbine magazines
that the springs are original issue (read that as the same age as I am, 77) and do
not feed properly. I have stretched them (more than once) and they do fine for a
month or two, then go back to not feeding properly. I DO have a 30 round mag that
is about ten or fifteen years old, that feeds flawlessly, so I'm reasonable sure it is
the magazine springs that are weak.
Well . . . . I FINALLY remembered to order some new Wolf springs. Easy as can
be, except for the quantity. I have five and they sell in 1, 3 or 10. Sooo, I got two 3
packs, and they are in process. Six springs plus about $5 in shipping = less than
$40. I'm happy. Purchasing five individually would have cost $3.50 more.
Wolf has a nice, easy to use ordering process and you can sign up for E-mail
updates (really?) but that's a yawner. The order confirmation was to me before I
got my E-mail processor going (read that as fast).
At least I got the springs on order before anything stupid happens. 8)
