Two things that go wrong on magazines that have been loaded for a long time is the spring may get weak or the tension on the feed lips of the magazine start to push upward. The springs can be replaced or stretched and the libs can be reshaped. I never grease my magazines because of the dirt that can be picked up. The grease and dirt get on the cartridges and then all of that goes into the chamber. Disassmbling most commercial mags take a pin to push up a detent pin on the floor plate. If the mags are one piece push the follower down about an inch and a half, push a pin through one of the holes to hold back the spring and then fish out the follower with a allen wrench.

If I disassemble them, what do I do about the springs?
