Yes. I believe that is all the large capacity Mags I am going to buy for now. 4 total I think is a good start. Those would be the ones more likely to go ban. I may pick up two 20 rounders next. And if that 40 rounder works then maybe one more of them and thats it.

Well... I ended up on Bushmasters site today and they had there what they called the Complete Spare parts kit. Every single spring, clip, pin (including retaining pins and firing pin) and hammer and all sorts of bits and bobs (they say all small parts) for $39.50. Seems they combined their field repair kit, complete spring kit and "lost parts" kit all into one kit for a complete set. I figured it good to have.

My thought there is, that some day down the line, if AW bans come into play and all that, even parts may get hard to find. I may even pick up a complete bolt assembly or rebuilt kit as well in the near future. I am not going to leave a lot to chance. I want that stuff laid in. Its not going to get any cheaper... and perhaps not going to be any easier to find. I think we all saw the price of weapons go up last time. I expect all of it to be fair game this time. And if I am wrong, then great. But even if I am wrong... parts is always good to have and I will probably save money getting them now.

I also went ahead and got one of those armorers multi tools. I was contemplating the whole armorors tool set but I have a lot of tools already. A lot of things adaptable to this AR. I probably have something for about everything that can come up here already in other tools like pin extractors and such. I will wait and see as I disasseble the first time around.
