No I tryed one from a pmag. Tryed a pmag spring, cpd spring, asc spring and an elander spring I had laying around.
The spring that comes in the howa mag, is lil more then a bread twist wire. Think less then half the thickness of a ar15 style mag spring. And it isn't bent as wide as ar15 mag springs.
Working on a wire jig now. Have some stainless steel wire in a roll I'm going to see if I can bend one up too match my other howa mag spring. Hopefully it will work.
I would have thought for sure howa/legacy would have had some kind of parts support for their product but I guess not.
Well one more strike against howa/legacy in my book.
If I can get the wire jig and stainless wire too work, i will make a bunch and stash them or offer them as refits for the horde.
