ARC Magazine Spring (longer)

[NiteQwill]

Anyone sell replacement ARC Magazine springs? Possibly longer ones for those that run extensions? Just curious.

I was just looking at Area 419 extensions and wondered if the factory spring would function reliably over time myself.

I’m using the Area 419 extensions with ARC mags and the factory springs. Works well with 6GT/ Impact. Gave it a try in my new
6BR/ Archimedes yesterday without any issues, but I’d like to put some more rounds through it to make sure there isn’t any hiccups.

I've played with the ARC and extensions, I found the spring to be lacking, however I did not try and after market follower.

The spring works, but I got the occasional "hiccup". I've never had a feeding issue in over 3000+ rounds in ARC mag (standard 10rnd) except one time when Paul Reid was in Aus. I blame him.

Did you stretch the springs? If so, how?

I have the same 6GT/Impact setup. Feeds great but maybe 10% hangup on last round.

No, I didn't. I should also add that I'm using LRI followers. What helped most was de-burring the front inside of the feed lips of the mag.
I am going to have to stretch the spring a little if I continue to use it with the 6BR.

I couldn't get the LRI followers to work with Area 419 and Altus mag extensions. I had to go to the standard follower.

I’ve run the ARC mags with these extensions https://patriotvalleyarms.com/freedom-gunworks-magazine-extensions/
And the LRI followers. No issues. This extension is lower profile than the rest and allows 12 rounds to be loaded. I keep one mag without an extension for props that require a short magazine.

Do you still happen to have the LRI followers?

I sold mine on here a while back. I’ve gotten the standard ARC followers to work reliably.

I checked thier website a day or two ago and they looked to be in stock.

My ARC with the 419 Extension doesnt have enough tension to pickup the last round in the mag. Which isnt really a huge deal because I can actually get 13 or 14 in it.

I wanted to ask about shipping. It's $11 to ship 1 or 2 followers. 50% of the cost of the follower...

LRI Billet Magazine follower for ARC 10 Round Magazine

The ARC 10-round staggered stack center feed magazine is an exceptionally well-made piece. SS box, heat treated, and beam welded for about as clean a finish as it gets. They work well. -till they don't. It has suffered a bit at times. Some shooters have had no issues, while others struggle...
