Storing an AR-15 with the bolt locked open does not degrade the buffer spring; springs wear through cycling, not static compression. While this storage method allows for immediate visual confirmation of an empty chamber, it poses a risk of the bolt slamming shut if bumped. To mitigate accidental loading, it's advised to store the rifle without a magazine when the bolt is held open.
