Spare Parts for semis

Im trying to put together a collection of spare parts that I might need to replace for the Wiselite and Century Sterlings. Ive got both guns being shipped to my dealer. The Wiselite is already SBR'd and Im considering having the Century Type II converted into a L34a1 if its nice. So Im looking to pick up some parts that I may need in the future.

Suggestions

Wiselite sells spare parts. I bought several parts from them, including firing pins with fp buffer springs and drive springs, in addition to some other things.

Thanks! Besides those do you think I might want to have anything else handy.

One of the nice things about the Sterling is its durability. They don't need a lot of spare parts.

To second what sterlgrl said, a firing pin is probably the best spare to keep. I bent one a while back, and there's no way to straighten it.

I don't know what's going on at WLA. You can still get their parts from APEX for now.

What Traveler said, is quite right on, as usual.

I also got backup springs, because I am a better safe than sorry type gal, and I know there is a global super depression coming very very soon. So although, I seriously doubt I will ever need one, for the same reason I still want a backup fire control module also.

I chose my WLA Sterling, because it is mil-spec tough and ultra simple and dependable, as well as being very accurate, compact and ergonomic. One could not ask for, a better pistol caliber carbine, imlo.
