nothing wrong with a little job security.....
Nothing wrong with a little insurance too, if that’s what puts you in the zone then its all money well spent for peace of mind, I happen to like to roll the dice with my springs, putting all my stock in modern metallurgy. The only time a change a spring is for performance gain like trigger pull or something else that’s going to improve my shooting, other than that if it is still feeding ammo or cycling my bolt I leave it alone.
I have known a lot of Mossberg’s and never seen or heard of a broken or weak spring in other than a handful of posts on the internet. It’s like everything on the internet though, you hardly ever hear when things go good, but it only takes a couple bad things to happen too loud people and the next thing you know companies are notorious for bad things happening to their stuff…….
