What’s the appeal of AR rifles?

[Rascal01]

Having an extra bolt, firing pin, FP retaining pin, and cam pin on hand is a good plan IMO as it takes car of a lot of potential problems. It doesn't have to be a broken bolt, could be something as simple as a lost FP retaining pin, broken extractor, worn out extractor or ejector spring, damaged/missing gas rings.

yep, no kidding, I'm glad somebody was thinking ahead. In my generation we cut our teeth on the M-14, and some guys still loved their M1s. Carrying spare parts for your rifle was not normally considered. Now, in the new era, it seems the norm for prudent folks.
