Where do you guys go for AR small parts that has decent shipping rates? Don't want to spend $50 to get free shipping when I might only need a few dollars worth of parts.

Looking through my "spare parts" bins, and I need to add a couple parts. Was hoping that Damage Industries would have free shipping on St. Patrick's day again this year, but they didn't.

Don't worry seems like even the parts kits minus an FCG are $45, never mind a whole one.

If you don't mind the fact that it most certainly comes from China, parts are available on Amazon. "Tire Repair Tools." Riiiiiight... :D

I have several different bags of small parts that came from Amazon.

21 Pieces Metal Bolt Catch Parts, Spring for Outdoor Amazon product ASIN B09TGZBSNY
I see it was mentioned above also
 
Believe it or not. Academy stocks an oops kit with 2 of everything and I think a lower parts spring kit.

What is this? I’ve built over a dozen lowers for myself and never used a piece like that? Unless they’re part of an upper build, which I haven’t done.

ETA: found it on Academy; by process of elimination, they’re firing pin retainer pins (but don’t look like any I’ve ever used)

This post popped up the day after I ordered $100 worth of “small parts” for my stash, I’m looking to pick up half a dozen Springco Blue buffer springs next, with all of the BS going on with Biden and his ilk trying to ban everything I decided to stock up as many parts as possible.

The Gun Shop in Thomasville has Sprinco’s. I grabbed a couple while was in there a couple weeks ago.

KNS makes those pins too. I’m using one and will say that it takes a little more effort to remove/reinstall. Nice and snug.

unbrandedAR
UnbrandedAR has good prices, but their shipping is still $9.99.

I'm looking more for bolt rebuild components, firing pins and cam pins. I had already stocked up on the oops type parts.
 
Got an email from B.Kings today and remembered this thread.
