Searched but couldn't Isolate Terms to: a supplier or suppliers of GI Spec small parts, Pins, Detents, Springs, Delta rings, etc.... Everyone's got Titanium, Aluminum one thing or the other. I used to use Bushy reliably but they seem to have let their supply dry up.
Amazon has some suppliers but I'm unfamiliar with the vendor making those parts. Anyone refer me to a good reputable either source, or manufacturer on amazon to look at? TIA S2 |

I buy individual DPMS and Del-ton parts from MidwayUSA.
They seem to have every single spring, detent, and roll pin available individually. Here is what I do: I keep at least one extra complete lower parts kit around so I know I always have at least one spare of everything for a lower just in case I drop and lose or damage any parts. Palmetto State Armory has great deals on both upper and lower build kits regularly. Their lower build kits run around $30 (without fire control group) or $45 with. They also have a nice upper receiver build kit for around $25. You can't buy them all individually for that! I have bought several of each and the quality is excellent. P.S. Palmetto also has individual parts. |

so 2 things, I found RRA has a list of small parts. but you have to buy enough to make it worth shipping.
second, strange as it sounds, the local gun shows seems to have the parts cheaper. you pay the surcharge for entry and have to account for that in your price vs shipping. |

White Oak Armament
they have very reasonable shipping and fast processing, for instance a lpk is $2 shipping first class mail if you're not in a rush |

Is there a differentiation between "Mil-spec" and "USGI" parts?
Would "USGI" be parts made by strictly by a company who has made parts for the military? Just curious because I know the term "Mil-spec" can get thrown around. I've bought parts that were labeled "Mil-spec" and they were very low quality. |
