Friend looking for mag cover spring

[jmoore]

Prepping to shoot this Friday, I broke the Johnson out of "prison", checking the magazine for ammo before opening the bolt and declaring it "clear", so guess what happened--- PING!--- goes the mag cover spring. Errrrrr... What's up w/ that? No excessive force or travel opening the "trap door", the first spring breakage was explainable, but this is a mystery. Dang thing was supposed to be Marine-proof!!!

You are dealing with an almost 70 year old strip of spring!
