[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2696101, member: 71221"] Contrary to old dive’s tales about springs wearing out under tension or taking a set, that doesn’t happen. The same old myth has been going around for years about magazine springs. Metal fatigues from being worked so if the spring is weak it is likely from the 5000 rounds that have been fired through it. I would disassemble the bolt and put in a new firing pin spring and firing pin. It wouldn’t hurt to clean it too. [/QUOTE]
