Essential AR-15 spare parts include gas rings, buffer springs, extractor springs, and firing pin retaining pins. Shorter barrels accelerate wear on internal components. Measure buffer springs for serviceability: carbine springs should be at least 10 1/16 inches, rifle springs 11 1/4 inches. Keep original mil-spec trigger parts as backups for aftermarket triggers.

This video demonstrates a clever trick for removing and replacing an AR-15 takedown pin without disturbing a staked castle nut. It utilizes a small precision screwdriver to depress the detent and an old pivot pin as a slave pin to capture the detent during the swap. This method is ideal for upgrading components like enhanced takedown pins while preserving factory staking.
