well physics class taught me that springs do not loss their "spring" when leaving this compressed or not. they gradually loss it when going back and forth.

So you can wear them out, but not by leaving it compressed, you say?

An arguement presented in some other reading I was doing said a guy found a mag loaded since the vietnam war and it shot just fine 30+ years later. Only thing is that it was on the internet so I know he was telling the truth with 99.9% certainty.

Car Ramrod is correct.

Springs lose their strength from firing.

PSA announcement: A magazine has a spring. A clip does not have a spring. Just a pet peeve of mine.
