Where is that Henderson Defense thread where he talked about what parts broke....

Quoted: Sounds good man. I honestly think I could fire the rest of my 9mm and my G19 wouldn't malfunction, but it never hurts to have extra parts! View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: @thorn653 Unless you have a high round count on it, it's pretty resilient. That said, after taking the Glock 1-day armorers course, I have stocked up on slide and frame parts kits, but I have several Gen 3 G19's. If you're going with single parts, I've also done recoil springs, locking blocks (be careful which generation G19 you have as they are generation and can be intra-generation specific), firing pin springs, firing pin, extractor, extractor spring. If you want to keep it even more simple than that, then stick just with the springs: Recoil, extractor spring, firing pin spring, etc. I honestly think I could fire the rest of my 9mm and my G19 wouldn't malfunction, but it never hurts to have extra parts! @thorn653 I’m the worst person to talk to about this because I’m a spare parts whore. I took the Glock course mainly so I’d know which spare parts to get and how to replace them. I’m the same with AR’s, AK’s, pistols, etc. |

Quoted: Agree for time being; however, 3D printer go brrr. They can’t stop what’s coming - technology and materials advances will bring the small parts factory to your dining room table. View Quote Not to mention bring about a ton of new ideas and concepts creating more sustainable weapons platforms. American ingenuity and all that. |

Quoted: Does this really belong here? Enough with the fear porn in every damn subforum. Go donate to the FPC and get involved. https://www.firearmspolicy.org View Quote Yes, it belongs here. When your enemies state their intentions, pay attention. And the message needs to be disseminated 20-30 times before some get it. |

When you start down the spare parts rabbit hole, you find out things like there are 2 different types of AR-15 firing pins.

I'm tapped out. I have multiples of different firearms. AR's and Handguns. I've spent money on optics, mags and ammo. I love shooting and fully support the Second Amendment but I can only do so much. At this point I have done all I can do, and I am not going to worry about it anymore.
I need to be able to support myself and my family and spend my time doing other things with them. |

OP is absolutely right. I’ve done this so long ago that even now I laugh at how over-prepared I am. Thank God, I had the time to do these things. You don’t. I’ve seen 20 years of drama and hyperbole on gunboards.
I do not see the way it won’t go to violence any more. And like the commies, your “allies” here in GD are as likely to put a bullet in your head as any random commie when it does go down. Don’t get confused about that. Build your local networks personally and offline in every sense of the word. One thing the 60s hippies absolutely nailed was “Think globally, act locally.” |

Quoted: Many parts, sure, as long as one has a good example to copy. Springs? Not at all sure about that. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Agree for time being; however, 3D printer go brrr. They can't stop what's coming - technology and materials advances will bring the small parts factory to your dining room table. I can honestly say I've never worn out a spring and I've got a 2 nd gen G17 with better than 10,000 rounds through it including a case of some really hot Turkish SMG ammo. Given the risks involved in taking one's unregistered and untaxed firearm out as well as his proposals for the purchasing of ammunition I doubt many people will be shooting enough to wear out springs and barrels should his plan come to fruition. |

I was looking into biden's gun plan in another thread, and the 14 years / registration thing is literally Hong Kong's gun laws, almost verbatim. Which came from British Colonial times. America already had a debate about being under colonial law and it didn't end well for the people trying to enforce them back then

Hey look.
It's the same fuckers who rolled over the last time. |

Clicking on “legislation” hotlinks to this site: They’re very clear on what they intend to do. It isn’t AWB 2. They want to end it. Test you, psych eval you, charge you annual fees, eviscerate Heller, stack the courts. They have detailed plans and legislative aides have been working on thrm for years. The proposed laws are written. Newbies, check this out. There are similar threads on optics, shotguns, handguns, AKs etc. Henderson Defense M4 thread |

He doesn’t know what reception he will receive. I suspect his edict will not go as planned

How about if we stop hoarding springs and start making plans to crowdfund manufacturing capacity and flaunt it in their face. We could play a complex shell game with distribution and have a volunteer guard staff the facility. Do it in a 2A sanctuary county with a solid sheriff's department.
I'm tired of the 'hide and wait' mentality. It does my children no good. |

I asked my cnc machines what they thought of this.
They said: "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" |

Are we really at the point we are having to have this discussion?

Quoted: You Don't Know What Biden Has Coming For You View Quote ... correct, no one does |

Quoted: Aside from this official horror: https://joebiden.com/gunsafety/, there are other things to consider. May I strongly suggest getting your spare parts inventory in order? Most firearms are extremely reliable, but most of them are but one critical part away from being useless. What part/What firearm depends. DO take an inventory of your firearms as regards spare parts. Most often, but not universally, such spare parts are extractors and various springs. Some firearms have individual parts "Prone-To-Failure". In the event your firearm needs to be sent back to Mfr for "factory-fitted" spare parts, make the most of it. PLEASE listen. Buying spare parts is a trivial expense NOW, but might not be an option in the future. Got mine. Get yours. View Quote That's a good point. Ordering some spares right now... |

That is the reason I have completely wrote off SIG , they basically laughed at me when I inquired about getting some spare small parts for my 556.told me to send it in if I ever had a problem.
On the other hand IWI and Steyr were more than happy to sell me all sorts of parts |

If the last AWB didn't create a vigorous black market, patriotic folks should make sure the next one definitely does. That seemed to work very well for other prohibitions in our history.

Don't know and don't care, no thanks, I'll go about my life as usual

I'll throw this out there as well...I decided a while back to have two or more of the exact same model and setup for a few key items. Primarily I did this for training...so that there was zero issues with muscle memory when grabbing a secondary backup...on the other hand, you always have at least one complete set of spare parts.
I used to to think it was silly to have more than one of the same rifle or handgun....then I looked in my tool box and I have repeats of all kinds of ratchets, pliers, screwdrivers....basically I have duplicates of every commonly used tool I own....and then it clicked. The whole 'two is one' are words to live by....now more than ever. |

White Oak Armament has great prices on individual small parts, cheap shipping, and no sales tax.

Been buying spares for my pop guns for a year now. Long guns have a hell of a lot of spares. Been working on pistol stuff lately.
Parts kits for pistols can be had on gunbroker for decent prices. |

View Quote This. If Biden wins no one will be shooting enough to break anything on their weapons. I'm shifting focus to food, water and fuel. I can only do so much and I have a feeling those supplies will be far more useful than more guns and ammo. I still want a lever action though, lol. |

I know, I just don’t care. If I survive enough firefights with commies to need more spares than I already have , I should be buying lotto tickets.

I have extra lower and upper build kits as well as spare bolts and bolt repair kits.
