I've amassed a decent pile of spare parts for my ARs (spare complete BCG, LPK, extractor spring + washer, gas key w/ screws and the Field Armorer's Kit from PSA) so I'm trying to figure out what I should keep on hand for my AKs.

This is what I've ordered sofar:
G2 single and double hook trigger sets
Tapco Gas Piston
Retaining plate
Axis pin w/ L retaining wire
Trigger bushings
Arsenal maintenance kit: http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?productid=17077

Am I missing anything important?

The two pins in the bolt.  They could be easily lost with a simple oops.

Perhaps I should take it to the next level and just get a complete bolt?
http://aa-ok.com/ak-bolt-head-cpt-for-7-62-x-39-ak47-akm-rpk.html
That a decent price or can they be found cheaper elsewhere?

AK bolts should not be considered to be interchangable. The headspace must be checked using gauges. If it's incorrect, it must be adjusted by moving the barrel.

I know... probably not worth the trouble to keep a spare on hand then...

+1

But if you're getting a bolt, you can get it cheaper at www.apexgunparts.com/.  It still must be headspaced.
