Hey folks, I'm new to Ar-15s and since I like being prepared I'm wondering what replacement parts y'all think would be good to stock up on...
Which Spare Parts to Stock?

A complete set of springs, detents, and pins for the lower. I have a complete set of bolt parts, plus a complete bolt so I can replace small things like the extractor and/or ejector and their springs at my convenience and just drop in the new bolt until later.

M.S. nailed it.
I replace springs before they break. I've got a couple of "Care Packs" put together for each one. Plus I keep several individual small parts (detent followers, buffer retainers, and the like) on hand too.
I'm a sometime hunter, paper punching, varminter so mine don't see rough conditions.
I do believe in preventive maintenance.

This topic is good timing for me since I was also thinking about picking up some spare parts.
I saw a link to a parts kit on slickguns and thought this was a good deal for $27 bucks since it would appear to have most of the essentials, but it never hurts to ask.
Is this a good deal?

Most parts are pretty cheap so why not have spares. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Any parts that you can get at a reasonable price right now would be a good idea. The panic buying is drying up all the supply lines for everything.

Zip, the AR15 is built on standardized specs. The M&P 15 uses any standard AR15 part.
