I've seen a lot of concern about magazine springs wearing out lately and was just curious if anyone has ever had a magazine fail due to the mag spring just losing it's spring-like qualities due to age or use. If you have experienced a failure of that sort, please post the details of the failure.
I myself have a magazine for a S&W 422 that has seen thousands of rounds and has been kept otherwise loaded for the past 15 years and it is still going strong. I also have an internal magazine for a 1927 Mosin Nagant which is still fine. I tend to think the concern about mag springs is a bit overblown, but I've been wrong before.
