This video provides essential advice from Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb on critical spare parts to keep for an AR-15. They highlight commonly failing components like gas rings, buffer springs, extractor springs and pins, and pivot/takedown pin springs and detents. The experts also discuss the importance of having original trigger parts as spares if an upgrade has been made.
