Most common parts to replace on a firearm...?

[Riot]

Um, No AR...

Fireing pins and magazine parts then...

 

[HalfNutz]

... these are AK parts... not AR

Yes, I know. The OP has an AK clone, not an AR.

i know.. that's what i said, to which you quoted me and posted a picture of AK parts.

i think one guy confused us all. he probably thought it was pretty funny, too.

 

[HalfNutz]

Um, No AR...

So the AK repair kit I posted would be worthwhile. I hope.

Stupid question please? Do you buy the repair kit for your brand only, or are they interchangeable with most brands?

Colt firing pins are not the same size, so there's the 1%

Just Colt? Are they bigger than the rest? That would explain the replacement fireing pins I bought from CTD that didn't work in my Bushmaster.

old-school colt commercial firing pins have oversized end rings, but they don't do that anymore. i don't know whether the commercial firing pins work in standard carriers- i've never heard that they don't, but that doesn't mean it aint so.

thats kind of a rare thing, especially now that colt has finally ended their decades of deliberate compatibility issues.

Did some fact finding...looks like he means the old school style free-floating pins. All of them are suppossed to be the same size...the exception to that are different callibers.

 

[The B]

they're all free floating.. chamber a round, pull it out, and look at your primer.

Some of them come with springs...especially the 9mm ARs

i dont know anything about 9mm ARs... but i'm not aware of a single 5.56 DI AR with a spring captured firing pin
