It’s been flawless, knock wood, and this is obviously not a “go-to” weapon, so this isn’t urgent. I’m just a bit OCD about collecting spare parts for the guns I own.
The problem is that I can hardly find anybody who sells spare parts for the Atchison/Ciener/CMMG/Spikes conversions anymore…
I think Lakeside and/or Black Dog used to sell spare extractors and firing pins for a couple bucks each, but neither sells them anymore.
EDIT: I finally found spare parts on Black Dog’s site: extractors and firing pins for $11 each, and a “survival” spare parts kit for $24.
CMMG wants $10 for an extractor (!) and $10 for a firing pin. Spikes wants $30 for a spare parts kit that includes both and a couple springs and pins.
I’m a big believer in the free market, but these prices just feel like gouging…
Does anybody know of another source? Am I just a cheap bastard?
Thanks, but I already have a fairly comprehensive collection of spare parts for my AR itself.
What I’m looking for now are spares for just the .22 kit.
Shadow65, thanks for the PM, but I really didn’t intend this thread as a “WTB,” and AFAIK the Spikes kit isn’t entirely compatible with the Atchison/Ciener/CMMG kits (the firing pins are different, at least).
