AR spare parts - must haves?

[Busta Capp]

Curious what everyone has as spare parts for their AR's. Was thinking of ordering a lower assembly parts kit just in case, and maybe a new firing pin. Any spare parts you would consider a must have?

In addition to the parts already mentioned, I also have a spare bolt, bolt cam pin, extractor and lots of the firing pin retaining pins(the cotter pin).

Don't think that thought did not cross my mind...

Does anyone keep replacement buffer/buffer springs?

I have never seen a buffer or buffer spring that was worn out.
