Time falls back, switch those Mags

Nighthawk

An hour tonight dont forget to turn those clocks back, its also a good time to remember to switch those loaded Mags and rest the springs until Spring. Thats what I teach my students is to switch Mags when the time falls back or springs forward, its easy to remember that way. Some say its not necessary, but better safe than sorry.

Good idea. Also a good time to replace smoke alarm batteries.

I firmly believe that working the spring wears it out faster than leaving them compressed

compressed is far better than working them, i have some loaded 20 rnd. mags that were loaded with Winchester Q3131 for about 7 years, i occasionally shoot one 20 rnd. mag. full and never had any "fail to feed" problems.., as far as the clocks go, us "Zonies" never touch them unless they need winding, replace batteries, etc.

have a great time change fellas and gals [:D]

Buy a wheel gun and you don't have to worry about it. If you need more capacity, buy two.[8D]
