M16/M4 Magazine Upgrade Article
I ran across an article a week or so ago about the Army changing the design/material of the magazine spring for the M16/M4 rifle. I cant track it down. I thought I saw on Army Times or Stripes. Anyone else see it? Can you post a link?

Some info HERE and HERE, but not specific to spring material.
NSN 1005-01-561-7200.
They are incorporating a heavier/corrosion resistant spring and a tan anti-tilt follower. Kind of sounds like a SAW red spring and a Magpul follower. I get the XP spring part, but corrosion does not really seem to be a problem with current SS USGI springs.
