Hi there! The length & the strength are not a problem! The diameter of the spring after it takes a set, and the width and shape of the spring channel in the magazine shell are probably the culprit! The magazine shell has to be reformed with the wide parts maybe needing narrowed, and the narrow parts maybe needing widening???...
.... It is a delicate procedure, most likely if you start trying to straighten it, you will cause more issues then you solve... But, that being said, it can be done!....
..... Best of Luck to you in your magazine repair quest! Best to all, til...lat'r....GT...
