If magazine springs were so dainty and fallible we'd all still be using revolvers.

They called them clips around the pyramids and the springs were bambooThe worst thing you can do is fully compress a spring and leave it in that position for long periods of time. Consider that when loading mags for long term storage. I had a mag spring fail recently in a newer mag that had been loaded with 30 rounds for a couple years. I'm sure that was an anomaly and I would be chastised by the kiddies at arfkom for even mentioning it since fully loaded mags have been found in the great pyramid that still function fine.

Good question, but those springs are not under full compression like a fully loaded mag.Anyone worry about their trigger spring, buffer springs, or any of the other many springs in their weapon? why the constant magazine discussion/obsession?
How many people have actually worn out a mag? I think my barrel will need replacement before my mag spring does.
I have worn out many mag springs, you just dont shoot enough
lolThis should answer your question
