    I'd like to know what the most likely parts to break/wear out on my AR15 would be so I can stock replacements.

    Anyone got knowledge here?

    Google up Fulton Armory and give them a call. I've never had dealings with folks like that, you'll get the straight skinny from them. They like happy customers. My Fulton has run faultlessly since new, so I can't tell what's going to break. I have heard that AR extractors can be problematic, but so far so good with mine.

    The information I got from someone was get the bolt assembly and charging handle...so that's what I got. The explaination was that these wear out faster than springs,pins and other parts.

    my set of extra parts. If I would have to pick a most important part to have it would be a new extractor and spring or a spare complete bolt.

    Extractor. Get a complete Bolt Assembly. You can fit it in your pistol grip.
    Many problms can be solved with a bolt drop in until the other one is cleaned.

    Never heard of a Charging Handle wearing out. Maybe being broken accidentally but I don't stock extras.

    More ammo and mags too :D

    I never heard of a charging handle wearing out either...but they can break or be bent....Guess that's why I was advised to get one.
