I am in the need of individual small parts for a build & would like to get them from one place. I am in need of springs, pins, & such. Where can I get quality parts all from one order?

McMaster-Carr

They ship fast!!!! Not the cheapest, but most reliable!

Sorry —— I did not read this very well… just waking up from a nap.

McMaster is a great place to buy small parts… not the best place for small gun parts ;-)

White Oak Armament and JSE Surplus are among my first stops most times.

JSE was my stop for small parts orders, when they had $4 shipping for <$100

Now it is $9.99 minimum shipping so the bloom is fallen off that rose

When did this take effect, with the new year ?

I noticed it when JSE launched their new website earlier this year.  They are no longer my go to for small parts, I've started shopping around more.  Places like Damage Industries often have sales with free shipping, but their selection is more limited.

I get all of my small parts from V7 Weapon Systems or Forward Controls Design.

Damage Industries.  They frequently have free shipping promos, too.

BKings Firearms has been my source. Also Unbranded AR.

I've bought hundreds of small pins, springs and other parts from B Kings.  Many of them are available in bulk, and as a nitride finish.

Brownells?

Another recommendation for B. Kings, Unbranded AR and Damage Ind. (when shipping is free).  Also, JSE until the new website.

I don't know what it is, but I have a hard time wanting to take a chance ordering parts from a place called B. King's. Same for Unbranded AR.

Even Damage Ind... Once I had a few handfuls of bad parts from them I had to stop ordering from them.

For standard parts I try to stick with Colt through Brownells. Though they haven't gotten a lot of their parts back in stock for well over a year now.


Up until the ban here last year I used to order certain parts from Windham Weaponry and RRA, but they won't sell so much as even a hat to someone in Washington anymore... Same with Bravo Company.

I was recently pleased with an order I made for an RRA part through AR15Discounts, but if it weren't for the fact that the part was from RRA I probably wouldn't really trust them for parts sold under their own name.

I've had good luck with Damage Industries.  Besides sales, they sometimes offer free shipping.  Their ware house is a mile from a place I used to work at, so I could leave comments when ordering to notify me when an order could be picked up.
