Quoted: Of the parts that break most often on an AR-15, which ones will be the 'little trouble causers' in which I'll want to keep a few spares on hand? Thanks! I'd recommend keeping a fully assembled rifle, just in case [:D] Ian |

i always go overboard on spares, but most needed IMHO, are springs; fire control group, ejector and extractor. i also would keep an ejector and extractor handy as well. aw hell, just keep a spare bolt and FCG springs on hand! [:D]

I once had a tiny little spring under the extractor get weak and failed to extract the fired case at the range, replaced it and it it was good as new. I would definitely keep small parts, such as firing pin, extractor, springs for those failures at the range in the pistol grip, even though I have never personally broken any of them. I personally think a lot of the parts will be lost during rather than worn out.

Magazines... Lots of spare Magazines...
If you want to have other backup parts available, I would suggest DPMS's ultimate repair kit. |

Be sure and keep an extra of the small parts that get lost sooo easily. The retainer pin (kotter pin) in the bolt assembly comes to mind.
