I try not to, but if I drop a plastic mag I'm not going to stop playing and hunt all over the forest for it. Also, springs go soft with a bunch of use...so you either take them all apart and stretch the springs to get a bit more life out of them...or you end up buying mags.
I buy a box or two of mags each season (it's a pretty minimal cost considering the price of everything else) and just toss the most problematic ones (I keep them in the parts bin for break fix/parts/screws)
It baffles me to see guys spend all this time and money to get out to games, just to wrestle with mis-feeding mags. Any mags that act up (usually dirt in the mag) get sort out of rotation, get taken apart for a cleaning and if they're still acting up they get tossed. Get 14 or so mags...mark problem ones with a sharpie marker.

LOL. Easy to do when you're mags aren't $25+ a piece.
