I have a few ARs and want to get some spare parts. I have one lower parts kit and one LMT BCG.
I planned on getting two more LPKs and thought about just getting two more bolts without the carrier.
My questions are; is a bolt ok without a new carrier? Do the carriers wear out or wear with the bolt that the need to be replaced together or can I just get bolts and be GTG? Are there any other spare parts that would be needed?

I asked a simple question, you are not obligated to answer, or to be a tool. Thanks

A quality carrier should outlast several bolts, but a quality bolt should not need replacing before barrel does. Years ago I read it was a good idea to replace all the lower parts at around the 10,000 round point, but nowadays especially with mid gas and good parts things seem to be lasting longer.

Bolt is ok without new carrier. I would also consider having extra gas rings, extractor/spring, can pin, firing pin and retaining pin,buffer spring, on top of what you say have

Thank you both, that’s the kind of input I was looking for. Much apreceated.

So, to sum up-just buy an AR for your AR.Originally Posted by lysander

I like the builders kit and spare springs kit. http://sionicsweaponsystems.com/stor...receiver-parts
They also have bolts and other spare parts.

Yup, but I just let Larry Potterfield store all those spare parts until I need them... He's pretty good about it, I must say.
