If you're looking for a workbench or range bag spare parts kit, the sky's the limit. But, you mentioned you want it for your BOB (Bail Out Bag). If that's the case, then you need to ask yourself what you feel comfortable fixing or replacing in a field expedient manner. If its a spares kit for a BOB, then it needs to be stuff that needs to be, and can, be fixed in a hurry. Spare complete bolt and maybe a carrier, lube, extra batteries for everything that eats them, and a basic cleaning kit (collapsible rod, couple of patches, and a jag) is about all I want to do in the field, especially since I won't have tools.
For a home kit though, Belmont's concept of buying a tool or a spare part with every order is a great idea.
Better yet, just get another gun and use your current one or the new one (depending on what you have) as a spare or for harvesting parts.
The advice above is worth exactly what you paid for it.
