30 round mags

[Albroswift]

Are there 30 round springs anywhere?

Friend bought a couple 30 round promags,  trying to help him salvage a bad investment. Springs have zero spring, wont even push up with 5 or 6 rounds. I don't have any 30 rounders,  didn't know they existed.

Brownells was sold out

Thanks.

Looked at Wolff, only 20rounders.

[Albroswift]

Not seeing them. Guess I should have mentioned AR308...

30 round springs may be hard to find for 308

^^^   Indeed.  Just thinking about it, the LR-20 PMag weighs damn near nothing empty, but loaded full it weighs 2lbs.  That would mean a 30-rd'er would weigh 3lbs.  That's gotta be tough on a mag spring.  For reference, look up the spring for a 30-rd Grease Gun magazine.  That's one TOUGH sonuvabitch.

Or even worse a smith and wesson 76.

Even with a steel loader they are a bitch.

Lula loaders would break on first try.

Agreed.  On the M3, you ain't getting 30 rounds in that mag unless you have the steel Grease Gun mag loader.  Not happening without it.
