Not sure about forum choice but I used to exclusively use LWRC LPKs; they included NiB FCG parts which IMO were far better than milspec at near milspec prices.
A few years ago I found JPs on sale sans FCGs; their “small parts” were OK. Today I would at least try Geissele’s LPKs. |

Roll your own, as in every time you order online or purchase at the LGS get a spare part,pin,spring or 2
you will be surprised how fast it will build up as long as you can restrain from turning them into a gun. I started mine with a Bak-Up bolt from Aim and then started on what I felt were important. One day I will get a set of "criticals" packed together for the BO bag. |

Folks can laugh if they want...but I like DPMS small parts like pins, springs etc. Been using that shit since 2007 or so with great results.

These days I generally buy the parts individually.
The parts I get from Fulton Armory have always been good. The parts I get from Brownell’s have always worked for me, but I am selective about the manufacturer. Lately I have been getting some KNS detents. I have used several DPMS kits over the years. Any of the higher end vendors should have good parts. |

Build your own.
I use a lot of Bushmaster parts, they sell several parts kits that will be a good start. Lost parts kit Field repair kit Anytime I order parts I add on a few spare parts, they add up over the years. Gary |

I buy spares from KNS. I believe they do their own machining.

I've got a couple of these from SOLGW. Very high quality. I also use his full LPKs. I find his NiB triggers to be a bit another than the BCM I have.
ETA: As someone else said, I also grab a few small things from Brownells when they have free shipping days. That's where I get roll pins, extractor springs, trigger/hammer springs, etc. |

Armalite used to make a lost parts kit in a small box. My backup kit is similar to one of those but more comprehensive, 2-3 of every small part ordered from various suppliers stuffed in a small box, a full LPK and RE springs for both carbine and rifle length RE, and a full spare BCG. Between that and having multiple serviceable weapons I feel comfortable knowing I could maintain them for long enough to deplete a substantial supply of ammo.

Field repair kit is it. Now I just need to see which has the best selection.
Some stuff I find hard that it wears out |

Most of the springs and detents come from wither CMMG or DPMS, so, unless you're looking for a specific LPK, just buy the individual parts from Brownells.

I have gotten CMT, Spikes, no name, and Aero Precision. I have to say the mil spec trigger with the Aero kit was excellent, closely followed by one of the Spikes. The no name felt like rough rocks. CMT/Stag used to be great about selling individual parts. But I normally change out the triggers, grips, and Safeties so I have loads of those spare.
