    AR Emergency Roadside Kit

    Howdy all,
    I can finally say that I have my AR out of layaway and I had the opportunity to get some range time in. Boy I cannot be happier with my Colt 6720 purchase!! Now for my question... ...what should I get as a emergency kit for my AR? I am feeling the need to stock up now since the last thing I ever was is to have my rifle become non-useable someday. I thinking about what items wear out over time? I keep my firearms very clean and I ensure never to load on the hot side if the spectrum; but, all firearms have parts that seem to fail more than not. What would be your emergency roadside kit so that you know you will always have a firearm in great working order?

    Another copy of that rifle....LOL.

    I personally would get a fully assembled bolt carrier group and unless you plan on shooting tens of thousands of rounds I would wait out the craze. That's just me though.

    Use the orange "Search" button on the upper right of this page and search for "spare parts". You will find more than one thread concerning what you may need.

    Okay. I see your point. I figure always better safe than sorry. I see Daniel Defense has a fully assembled Bolt Carrier Group. The also have a lower kit. I was thinking if I buy both of those I would be good to go (as long as everything is compatible).

    I am fortunate in the sense that I have several of the platform, so if one goes down I have backups for backups. However I do believe in having spare parts such as the BCG. Eventually I would like to get a set of springs or two but I am going to gamble and see if the craze goes down.

    Actually, I thought the 100's of people trying to get a rifle that is sold out were too late. I was fortunate to get mine when I did I think. Getting the BCG is no issue for me currently, same with a lower parts kit. I guess the good luck wishes worked
