I'm in the camp with the guys who say springs made today won't weaken when stored in the compressed mode.
I consider it an old wives tale too.
I remember all of the old guys back in the 1940's peddling that notion when I didn't know any better; and I believed them then, but not now.
The biggest problem is remembering where you put the bolt. When my grand daughters came up to visit, before they really knew gun safety, which they know now, I would take all of the bolts out and put them in one place so I could remember where they were. They are now older and know gun saftey so they can be trusted, and they are both good shots too, so I leave bolts in rifles today.
