I'd like to know what the most likely parts to break/wear out on my AR15 would be so I can stock replacements. Anyone got knowledge here?
Google up Fulton Armory and give them a call. I've never had dealings with folks like that, you'll get the straight skinny from them. They like happy customers. My Fulton has run faultlessly since new, so I can't tell what's going to break. I have heard that AR extractors can be problematic, but so far so good with mine.
The information I got from someone was get the bolt assembly and charging handle...so that's what I got. The explaination was that these wear out faster than springs,pins and other parts.
my set of extra parts. If I would have to pick a most important part to have it would be a new extractor and spring or a spare complete bolt.
Extractor. Get a complete Bolt Assembly. You can fit it in your pistol grip. Many problms can be solved with a bolt drop in until the other one is cleaned. Never heard of a Charging Handle wearing out. Maybe being broken accidentally but I don't stock extras. More ammo and mags too
I never heard of a charging handle wearing out either...but they can break or be bent....Guess that's why I was advised to get one.
Is this a good start for having spare parts for an AR? http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/productview?saleitemid=172307&t=11082005 I have the AR, but the only spares I have are a couple of mags. Thanks
