Gunsmithing Magazine springs

Hello again,

Can someone tell me if the springs in high capacity rifle magazines are available in standard sizes or are they proprietary to the manufacturer? I have several magazines that seem to be the correct size but the spring is allowing the last three or four rounds to tilt down at the rear of the cartridge so that they stop feeding. The magazines are double stack straight feeding so this seems like a weak spring issue to me but I'm not a gunsmith so I need more informed advice.

Thank you,

Buddhapapa
