I have extra lower spring kits, spare BCG for my AR’s. Keep mainsping and extra extractors for 1911’s. I have some Glock and P320 spring kits as well.

Thinking I should get more. I guess you can’t ever have enough.

I have a couple extra magazines for my auto pistols & AR’s, no spares for revolvers, bolt actions, over/unders, pumps, or other autos…

I have enough AR lower parts kits to build at least 3 guns.

have some stuff for Glocks and 1911s. Would be a good idea to have an extra BCG like you said.

multiple exact make/model of the same firearms, so plenty of "spare parts" if needed

Have all the OEM parts I took out of my HK, a bunch of hammer springs and the original trigger (bought a spare and had it drilled and tapped for an over-travel stop).

None.
I have multiple of each type. If one goes down then it’s next man up.

I have parts and pieces for ARs. Need to get some small parts for handguns. I had a striker/firing pin safety spring shoot across the garage when cleaning my daily carry the other day. Found it by chance. But was that close to having my go to gun out of commission for a week. Think I'll load up on the tiny pieces that can disappear easily.

I’ve learned the hard way. If you shoot cheap, commie steel cases, keep extractors and a bolt handy.

I've got all the parts except extra lowers.

Lots of buffer parts, muzzle devices, extra roll pins, detents.. An upper, a barrel, some charging handles...

Zero. If I survive the first couple gun battles there’ll be spares laying on the ground

Same with ammo. I do have a lot of .22 LR and Mags for food collection if need be but fighting ammo only about 5 mags worth for each gun. I’ll replenish on the fly if I’m still breathing

Spare guns are more better.
