As I'm waiting for the u-know-what to hit the fan, is it OK to leave my clips loaded and ready? Or will that ruin the springs? How long can you leave them loaded? What parts for my AR should I purchase as replacements (just in case)?
I wouldn't worry about leaving the magazines loaded. I typically leave my magazines for rifle and pistol loaded. They tend to stay loaded for anywhere from a couple months to a couple years. So far I have not had any problems.
