Ruger 10/22: Leaving the Steel lips TI25 magazine loader

[bsctov]

Hey guys, I have a "Tactical" 10/22 and one of those great TI25 Tactical innovations steel lips magazines, and its got the constant force spring in it, and was wondering if I could keep it loaded all the time without any harm to it? I emailed the company but some clueless dude gave me the standard no liability no information type answer "You can, but it may or may not have an adverse affect on the spring."

Springs wear from cycling, not constant tension or compression.

I have had TI's (composite and aluminum)for three years or more now. I keep them loaded and I do not see any decrease in performance.

I keep mine loaded. Have to, constantly shooting possums and coons off the cat food.
