ARC Magazine Spring (longer)

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.
 
Do you still happen to have the LRI followers?

I've been trying to contact @LongRifles Inc. Via email but no reply yet.
