    Default Looking for Advice

    What would you guys put in a range kit in the way of AR specific tools/spare parts to keep a shooting session from going bad? :?:

    firing pin, bolt ejector and extractor springs. broken case remover, take down cleaning rod. if you get a squib round you can remove it. the rod will also remove a stuck round. the broken case tool will hopefully assist you in removing a sheared case.
    anything else goes wrong and your day is pretty much done.

    :?: Is there any enterprising company or individual that sells it in a kit?
    I need one also and I would rather buy it all at once.
    Thanks

    Umm, I might be an optimist, but I say bring oil and a cleaning rod.

    AR's are pretty dependable, and you have to shoot the hell out of one for it to break...

    So those of us with an extra extractor are trying to "repair our bolt at the range"??? Not much else to repair ya think??

    Jim gave great advise. :cool:
