'Bout this time every year, I go over all my firearms and do annual PM, parts replacement, and modifications for the upcoming season. There are a few things I want to do with my ARs - I want to strip and rebuild the bolts, new gas rings, springs, and extractor buffers, new Chrome-Silicon recoil springs, etc. I also want to lay in some spare parts.

I'm looking for, basically, a one-stop shop for highest-quality AR parts. Someplace I can get a CMT MP bolt, a couple Mil-Spec bolt rebuild kits, a couple gas tubes, ISMI recoil springs, and such. Is there a single outfit that carries all this stuff, or should I just go ahead and order from different places?

Any further advice on PM for AR-15s would be welcome.

Thanks.

Just off the top of my head, there's Midway, Brownell's and Bushmaster.


Midway will probably be the cheapest, I'd get DPMS parts from them.


There are a LOT of vendors over at AR15.com (industry section) that carry a lot of quality AR parts like CMT, but I'm not 100% there's an all-out one-stop-shop for everything you need. Might have to divide your needs over two different orders.

I usually go through the same thing to make life easier and to reduce shipping costs. I'd rather pay just a little more in shipping to get the better parts.

Best bet is to finalize on all the parts you really need and are looking to buy. Then go to all the various websites and pile on as many of the parts into the shopping cart as they have, then see who has the most and at the best price. Compare carts. Compare shipping.

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that might be the case. Such is life, it'll be a few more bucks in shipping.

I will go through the AR15.com vendors section. The one thing I'm having trouble finding is a CMT MP bolt. Most everyone has the BCG available, but not the bolt alone. Odd...

Thanks to all who replied.

Brownells will be your best source for one stop AR shopping in my opinion.
http://www.brownells.com
They now carry a full line of chrome silicone springs for the AR, McFarland one piece gas rings, replacement extractor buffers, several top quality Match type sights, DPMS AR15 parts which I am finding to be the equal of FN and Colt Mil-Spec parts plus if you feel like splurging and they actually are able to get them in stock from Colt,,,,Genuine Mil Spec Colt bolts.
 
Alot of the vendors at AR15.com are good guys, just shoot them an email and ask if you can buy a bolt. Im sure youll quickly find someone willing to help you out.
