| What are the essential back up components? Extra Firing pin, springs etc...? |
| firing pin, firing pin retainer, and thats about it for me. I also keep a few spare front sight posts because I can not stand a bent up or dinged front sight post. I started doing that in the Army because all the M16's had bad front sights on them. Never could get the armorer to replace them either. |

heres what I keep for my 4 rifles and growing bolt cam pins firing pins firing pin retaining pin gas rings hammer springs take down pins detents and springs saftey saftey detent ejector w/ spring and spring pins buttstock screws front sight posts and rear sight apretures gastube bolt carrier key and screws recoil springs hammer/ trigger pins extractors dust cover spring and lots of "c" clips bolt catch spring pins for every part that is retained by one I've worked on these rifles a lot and have found that these parts either wear out or are lost easily or can break during a unlucky fall or something. |
| I'm not too worried about something breaking in the field. Even though I use them at the range, I don't think I need to worry about a personal AR wearing out. Having said that, I keep spares of all the springs and pins since I often lose them when cleaning or just fooling around changing configurations and stuff. |
