Bolt carrier/assembly parts question
Hey guys have a quick AR15 question. I just bought a complete kit that has all of the springs, pegs etc, Just in case something breaks. I was looking at getting replacement parts for my bolt carrier/assembly, and I'm just wondering what you guys would recommend getting. I'm just wondering if I should just buy another complete bolt carrier & bolt assembly, or just buy a new firing pin since those are only $5 bucks, a bolt assembly since those are only about $40 etc... So long story short I'm just wondering what you guys would/wouldn't get in terms of replacement parts for the bolt carrier/assembly. I would really appreciate any information or advice you can throw my way!

A quick note, I found a "Bushmaster AR15 Bolt Carrier Rebuild Kit" and it looks like it comes with everything I'll need. Sorry to ask kind of a dumb question, but just wanted to be better safe than sorry, My upper is built by Del-ton, Since AR-15's are more or less interchangeable a Bushmaster AR-15 Bolt carrier rebuild kit should work totally fine with my existing bolt carrier/assembly?? 0 -
It should. A good rebuild kit will have a firing pin, firing pin cotter pin, gas rings, an extractor, extractor spring & donut, extractor pin and cam pin. Some will even get a complete bolt (if you can find one) or a gas key & fasteners.
Here is an extractor rebuild kit I recommend:

alrigty I'll look at that the rebuild kit I found said this in the description:
Bring your Bolt Carrier Assembly back up to new specifications. Includes all parts shown to rebuild your Bolt and Carrier.
Below is a diagram of what comes with it. like i said, just want to be better sure than sorry.

Would really appreciate any input you guys might have, my cursor is hovering over the buy button, just wanted to make sure it'll work and it's worthwhile to get it. 0 -
I'll relate what a relative who took two trips to the sand box told me about the military outlook on the AR bolt. His unit had a couple of spare bolts on hand in case of breakage. Anything else went to headquaters armorer for repair/replacement. I know this is far different than a personal firearm but it gives some insight into what Uncle does about BCG repair. They don't like individual soldiers messing with their weapons.
I keep individual bolt parts and several spare complete BCG. The bolt parts kit would be a good idea and would keep related parts in one bag.0 -
Thanks! I really appreciate your input! The crappy thing is, I go to order it and now their website is down haha.. 0 -
If you can find one, get a complete bolt carrier assembly, then a couple complete bolts, then a few firing pin retainer's, cam pins, extractors, extractor spring, and buffer.
When assembling the bolt carrier, one has to know what they are doing, when assembling the key to the carrier, as the bolts have to have loctite, then be torqued properly, then staked properly.
The rest of the stuff, is fairly simple, with minimal tools.
