Baja,one of my 870s has been kept one below capacity most of the time since about 1980. Same spring, no glitches. If it's worrisome, spend $5 or less every leap year for a new spring.

One caveat, that sling will slow you down when it's swinging with that weight back and forth. Try a few fast COFs with and without if you doubt me.
