AEM · November 11, 1999, 02:49 PM

I would like to put together a kit of spare parts to handle likely breakages or worn parts repairs in "the field" by someone with limited skills but lots of stubbornness. Can anyone suggest:

Which parts are likely to be needed?

Should they be fitted ahead of time?

Are there any good references for Mini-14 maintenance and repair?

Thanks, and yes, I know that ARs are easier to work on -- but I have a Mini-14!
