Thread: Leaving magazines loaded (legal issues?)

that's why a lever or a semi is good.

Doubt many people forget those bolts haha.

Yup agreed.
In the current climate of H and S and risk assessments, this thing would be risk assessed as necessary and it would eventually become mandatory.

What if you only own a motorcycle or a work car? Hard to get a lock box for those

Coming back to you a bit late on this, but I remembered this thread and returned to it.

Someone correct me, but leaving a spring compressed does not weaken it. Repeatedly compressing and releasing it does - a tiny bit. Just like you do no harm to a bolt action rifle leaving it closed with firing pin spring compressed.

Compressing a spring to beyond its elastic limit really weakens it. By that measure, forcing one extra round into your full mag will achieve a bit of your stated aim of making the spring easier on your fingers. I'd personally just take some emery board to those sharp mag lips.

Also back to the original op.
How about this really not trying to be a smart barstool but......
Harden the fingers up a bit so loading those mags comes easygoing.

I use Mag Lulas for loading and I reckon they are a bloody good bit of kit

I got them here but you could get them cheaper from Brownells
