I have found that its just best to keep a couple extra ARs around its much easier than changing out a part

Same here... every time I get an extra BCG or lower it turns in to another rifle. Three ARs and one AK, lots of magazines, thousands of rounds - that should do it!

Here is some of my spares Also have bolt, carrier, stock & handguard.

but ya, gas rings are a must. Get them in bulk for cheap, I think brownell's has em for a good price...

Yeah, when I last bought them, Brownells had them for about 33 cents each if you bought 5 sets, so I bought 50 bucks worth. A small price to make sure your gun is ready to roll every time. Takes a few seconds to change out. Peace of mind is priceless.

Not related to spare parts but good advice non the less
