I have a question for the well regulated among you.

How many rounds do you keep in your 30rd mags?

I heard they will hold up better over the years if I keep them with 28 or so rather than filling them to capacity.

I fill them to full capacity just the way God intended
>>
>>34325430
I load only one bullet in a mag at a time. I can't deny the superiority of semi-autos but my inner fudd requires some sort of manual action before every shot.

30 rounds in 30 round mags

I only put 40 rounds in my 42 round AUG mags tho
I have 4 of them and like to keep my ammo in 10s

holy shit whoever took this pic needs to throw out all those greens.
Just fill them all the way. you're a prepper and plan on burying them innawoods somewhere it will take the metal a literal decade to start (read that START) to relax and retain it's compressed shape

Remove the gas system and feed rounds manually then

Just buy replacement followers for the greens. Not too hard.
>>
>>34325640
Replacement followers are like $1, might as well swap 'em and see if that fixes whatever likely ails 'em.

31, plus 1 in the chamber.
>>
I only fill my magazines half way, the rest of my ammo would go in my pack so I can save weight

25.

Keeping mags loaded for long periods won't wear out springs, but springs DO take a slight set after a few years. 25 its nearly full, easy to multiply when counting mags, and if the spring does take a slight set over a decade or two there will still be more than enough tension to feed the last few rounds.

^ Video this screenshot is from. Mags labeled U were left unloaded, mags labeled L were loaded for a few years.

The reason for downloading them to 28 is to make it easier to seat the magazine fully on a closed bolt.

>>34325928
Over loading a mag and overcompressing the spring IS a way to fuck up magazines and ruin the spring in them though.

Shitty b8 or you're fucking retarded.
