I would say Doublestar / J&T Distributing, but they seem to be sold out everywhere.
About $70. You could just buy a new set of springs. Probably you don't need anything unless something breaks, or it fails to fire from a weak spring, which may never happen depending on how often you fire it. I've got Vietnam-era M16s at the office still using their original FCG and springs and they work great. I really like the Geissele SSF if you're looking to upgrade. |

I'm going to grab an SSF soon. I'll throw the originals in a drawer.

Any Colt or GI trigger group should last your lifetime+. Today there are many aftermarket TG parts of good quality, this wasn't always the case. The only parts I have found that do wear out are gas rings and extractor springs.

Yeah and you could maybe backorder at Brownells since you’re not in immediate need.

I bought a geissele SSF and Colt sear. Parts that came with the gun got cleaned lubed and stored incase I sell it or need a spare.

Don't you dare put anything but Colt parts in that beauty. I'll report you to the Colt police! Its a mortal sin!
 Seriously though you will love a SSF in her and get with SAW to get any replacement Colt parts Brownells dosent have in stock. |

Found an LPK on M-16parts.com, supposedly OEM. That’ll do for peace of mind until folks start getting stuff back in stock again. Thanks all for the posts. I don’t imagine a failure, but I’d hate to have a part fail and be unable to replace it, especially now that I’m actually shooting this thing.
I believe in redundancy...like quadruple redundancy. |

You might consider a spare bolt as well. I have broken one in half and know of another shooter that has as well. Couldn't hurt to have a spare extractor or 2 in your spares kit also.

Some of those are sold via GB. |

Definitely go SSF and put your original FCG away in storage. Then concentrate on uppers, barrels, bolt groups, gas rings, firing pin retaining pins, action springs, and other wear/replacement parts.
