Hey, does the large Level 10 bolt spring wear out over a period of time and need replacement, or stretching? Are there Level 10 replacement parts kits, I've only seen the old Level 7 Automag parts kits.

Springs will eventually lose their springiness. AGD sells replacement springs for 3 dollars.

As mentioned, the springs do lose their "spring". You'll notice bolt stick, even on a previously working level 10 setup. The springs are a consumable item. In the automag's heyday, tournament players use to replace their springs before any tournament. I have found that the springs actually function for quite a few thousand rounds, but should probably be replaced around 30000 shots even if it still functions, to ensure continued reliability.
