As I posted in another thread... I bought a Beretta 92F from an estate sale. Stamp on the frame is "AT" indicating a mfr date of 1988.

It was fired maybe once or twice before I bought it in Oct. '10. Otherwise it sat in a collection for 22 years.

I have no complaints with the action, so I am loathe to change anything. But I still want to know if long term storage can cause a permanent compression of the springs.
