This video from Brownells, featuring Stephen Caleb, provides essential advice on spare parts for the AK platform. It emphasizes that while AKs are durable, springs like the recoil, camera, trigger, and extractor springs are prone to wear over time, primarily due to round count. Experts like Jim Fuller and J-Mac Customs agree that the extractor spring is a key component to keep on hand. It's recommended to replace springs around the 5,000-round mark, or sooner if using a suppressor, which increases system stress. The video advises purchasing full spring kits for cost-effectiveness and highlights the overall robust construction of the AK platform, suggesting that most other parts are built to last.
