Title: Where to find reasonable price on magazine-follower springs ?
Post by: KILLDOZER on August 08, 2015, 03:57:00 PM
Numrich is out of stock, a guy on ebay wants $11 delivered for just one, same for another guy on GB.
AIM has some in stock for $1.50 each, but their shipping is $10-15 ( it changes every time you check shipping costs).
I've been digging around the interwebs for 30 minutes, and haven't found anything i'm even semi-satisified with.
Is there a source for these, where I can just buy a couple springs, and not get kicked in the teeth?
thanks.......

I dont know what kind of magazine but try everythingsks.com.  John doesnt charge shipping and much of his inventory is priced decently.

Thanks Dannyboy, i'll check that right now. BTW, i'm talking about the little spring behind the strut and follower in the standard 10-rd box magazine.
edit: turns out of already been to that site, but he doesn't carry them.

That particular spring might be found at a local hardware store!

Hey KD,

Call up AIM and talk to somebody.  Tell them you need XYZ spring and ask them if they will quote you a USPS envelope or other economical shipping method.  Should be able to get the shipping down into the $5 range.
