What do you keep for spare parts for your AR?

[Full MeTal Jack]

Oh gosh, I should.
I've seen firing pins break. And the charging handle seems like and accident waiting to happen.
Good Topic riverider.

I don't have any at the moment, but I have an LPK on order that is going to be big help. I am going to cram as much as I can in this MIAD grip instead of 5 extra rounds. There is a different bottom plate for this grip that is designed to store a new bolt and firing pin, been thinking about getting that.

Since some day a bolt and carrer may be needed I felt the need to buy a feild grade headspace gage. Forster Headspace Gage Field Length.

MidwayUSA - Forster Headspace Gage Field Length 223 Remington

Since to use this gage one should remove the ejector and spring I also ordered a Schuster MFG Bolt Disassembly Tool.

And I found a good set of advanced extractor springs with incert and Crane O-Rings at Bravo Co.
The BCM Extractor Spring is a heavy 5 coil design made for the increased extractor tention required on many AR15, M4, M16 short barreled rifles. This product also inproves the reliability on a standard 16" and 14.5" carbines.
As with all BCM branded products, the highest quality is the primary focus. Our BCM Extractor Spring is manufactured by a 9001:2000 facility employing the latest precision equipment. BCM starts with only the highest quality chrome silicon material, heat treats to stress relieve the product and shot peens to add increased strength.
This kit also includes the new black extractor insert, standard on all M4, M4A1, Mk18 carbines and the recent new standard on M16A4 rifles. The BCM Extractor Spring is so strong the Mil-Spec Crane O-Ring will probably not be needed, but it is included.

This kit includes:
Qty 3 - BCM Extractor Spring (chrome silicon, heat treated & stress relieved, shot peened)
Qty 3 - Crane Ind O-Ring (Mil-Spec)
Qty 3 - Black Extractor Insert
