i would imagine as long as it wasnt totally abused it would be fixed/replaced by warranty.

When blade magazine did an article on the Infidel, when it first came out, they asked Benchmade about spring longevity.

They reported Benchmade said that for someone who fired it 10 times a day, it should last 18 years.

Another thing to consider is that the springs are not being compressed except during operation.

Some people store their conventional automatics in the open position, so that the spring is stored in a less compressed position. There is no need for this with the Infidel.

Finally, if and when the springs do wear out, send it to Benchmade for warranty replacement.
