    Ok that's what I thought. Copper color = chrome silicon, gray = stainless.

    By the way, has anyone ever used the CMMG braided springs?: http://cmmginc.secure-mall.com/item/...ent-Spring-915

    I used them before and wasn't impressed, they don't fit more than 28 rounds in a mag, even after cutting 3 coils off the spring. I ditched them and put USGI springs back in my mags (glad I only bought 3 to test). Just curious if anyone else had the same experience.

    Not necessarily. I've seen some USIG that have a slight goldish tint to them and CS that are gray to black.

    Tried in conjunction with their SS followers and removed them shortly thereafter. The spring is installed up-side-down, which was odd. The combo was not smooth and seemed to scrape along the inside of the tube.

    These KICKASS.

    I've been using them for quite a while. They're cheap and they're 10% stronger. Swapped all of my 30rd/20rd mags out with these. Keep lots of pressure on the bolt catch.

    Well, I only have been using them for a little over a year now, but they've held up 100% while being loaded/stored full. They've held up 100% through many range trips (maybe 400-500rds per mag x 5-6 mags?) I've got them in a total of 35-40 mags, but only the 5-6 get heavy range time.

    Hardly a long enough time to judge accurately, but they're going just as strong as day one. I really like the added pressure - feels more like 20% more power.
