Yeah... If i pretty much do thag every time i go to the range and wnd up fixing alot of people's guns instead. So im cutting way back.
The original topic was minimalist field kits. With that in mind i got three cheap spare parts kits from PSA for $13ea. And were pretty inclusive came with every single spring on a AR. Firing pin takedowns gas rings. All detents amd roll pins.
I dont think you really need much at all.
A built bolt face
firing pin retainer
Hammer and trigger spring. Single pin (or just spend the little bit extra for the retained pin set and forget it)
Decent cleaning kit such as mil spec. (Just got my Larue RAT with the build in rod its decent (the stock is great), i like the otis rod sections alot better and are shorter but require more for rifle length)
Drivers for loose screws but you should make sure they are good before heading out.
Shouldn't need much else IR it's escaping me at the moment. Other advice was on point. Your cleaning maintenance should resolve most of the issues that would arise. Or call it a day.
