I've had the same issue with my CTR 308 mag…
If you guys are leaving rounds stacked in the mag during travel or storage it will render the spring useless The spring does not like to be compressed with max rounds and it will loose it compression over time.
Especially if left fully compressed for long period of time…load to 9 rounds and empty completely after use and it will prolong the spring…i'm on my 3rd mag and this is helping. Stupid I know, but I'm tired of buying CTR mags…Another issue with a very expensive Tikka gun mag…at some point they are going to have to address it or it will hurt rifles sales. It is a weak point on this rifle…and they rust soooooo easy…make sure you oil and wipe them down if they get wet.
Yes the springs are absolutely crap!
I've started a bit of a change in Australia and folks are taking mags back to dealers and getting replacements so it's far from an isolated issue.
I have also had a local smith look at the issue and he has sent me some new springs to trial. These should address the problem and if they work I will let folks know.
