Nothing wrong with that, but I wouldn't put too much effort into trying to find a special cam pin. Purchase a few spares from the above mentioned companies if you're really worried about it and rock on. Then start looking at getting additional spare parts like extractors, springs, firing pins, BCG...Originally Posted by PattonWasRight

You could also pick up a bolt carrier group (BCG), install it and keep your S&W BCG as a spare.
Brownells lists Colt BCGs at $230, Daniel Defense at $185, and BCM at $170 - all parkerized (approximate prices).
Sionics lists their NP3 BCG at $190 and their parkerized at $130.
Monmouth Reloading sells a Toolcraft BCG with a nitride finish for $75.
The toolcraft is the closest to your current BCG, quality-wise. The others listed are superior, IMO and are all great choices.

P.S. Prices are approximate.

The BCG in my sport II is one of the better parts of the rifle, the trigger was cheap and had to go and the bird cage muzzle device started to pit and I replaced that. Get a spare if you want but don't be surprised if that spare turns into another rifle.

I used to carry a bunch of spare parts for my rifle in case it went down but after a lot of real world training I found it was substantially quicker to just transition to my 93R in the event my rifle goes down.

Howdy,
I too keep a 93R for quick deployment. This served me well in the jungles of South Antarctica. A 93R is much easier to shoot while rappelling from a Bell Jetranger than an AR15. Most people don't understand that because they are not qualified to perform such missions but Gecko45 would back me up. I know his mall security uses Bell Jetrangers to insert into DZs. HTH
FWIW, I always bring all of my rifles whenever I go to any sort of match but if it's just the range then no. I have never brought a spare BCG I because I don't have one that isn't already in a rifle.

I modified my stock to fit a spare BCG, in case of failure.

I typically carry along my armorers bench and reloading equipment if I know I'm going into a hot zone. I can fix any problem with my weapon and work up a high casualty producing cartridge tailored for the situation. Some say "that's cumbersome!", but they don't have as much experience in the neighborhood watch group as I do. I've seen things!
