What Spare Parts Should You Have ?

[DaveHH]

The part that looks to take the most wear is the Firing pin. Look at the tip under a good loupe, some of them are a mess, chipped,dented, beat up. They were a troublesome part to make as well because of heat treatment issues.

The small springs: Small springs are fragile.
a good brand new GI slide spring.
Plungers for the above reasons.
Extractors break.
Sear/trigger spring because it is special.

Small springs can be made out of other springs, plungers could be hand made,
