I’m trying to figure out what spare parts for AK I should keep on hand so that they will still be running for my kids.
Thanks David |

^^^ That is me too. A furniture set turns into a rifle.
I think you should keep as many wear parts as you can. Like complete bolt, fire control group, firing pin, springs, etc.. I personally keep a full spring set and a firing pin, and I have crappy Century triggers I replaced with G2s as my backup FCG. I need to get a bolt, but I know you have to headspace bolt to chamber/barrel, and they aren't drop-in parts necessarily, so it's not as easy to get one of those for an AK as it is for an AR. |
| I just keep spare rifles, so when one breaks, just grab another & keep shooting. Yes, that many! Another problem is that I buy a bit of this & a bit of that & one day there is enough stuff to build a complete rifle or two or three. |

I have a few bolt essential packages which includes a firing pin, extractor, plunger and spring, AK47 extractor. https://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/Bolt-and-Recoil-Assembly-c159.htm |

I have broke an extractor in a Chinese mak. I have also broke an extractor spring n a Bulgarian SAM 7. They are rugged . But not invincible. Man made. It can break. Get a firing pin also. Seen those give up also. Cheers WarDawg Attached File |

It’s a lot easier to carry a spare firing pin and extractor along with the pins with the rifle. All those parts are replaceable in the field. If you AK has a hollow grip you can stash the bolt parts inside. They are still accessible if you have the cleaning kit capsule and screwdriver with you. AJ |
