Spare Extractor
Spare Extractor Spring (Get a beefy one like the "Wolf" brand capable of wrenching out hot steel cased stuff)
Spare Muzzle Device Crush Washer, you may want to change muzzle device or slip on a can depending on the circumstances.
Balistol, works great, doesn't evaporate on the metal surface. Great on the barrel if you have free float hand guard and don't want to remove it all the time to oil it.
Milspec chamber cleaning brush (2 diameters for chamber and lugs) to get all the gunk out. UTG one is good to go.
.22/.223 Cleaning kit. RAM one is good.

Spoegwolf, I went and bought two 2032 batteries for my Stribog today, realized I only had one spare, you took the words out of my mouth. Valued comment.

Most do not shoot enough to need spares so dont sweat it. If you actually really shoot just get a spare bolt, split pin and cam pin.

The average person will break loooong before the rifle does, don’t stress it.

The hammer spring I think has an expected life of about 10 000 rounds, pretty sure I read this from Geissele triggers. The buffer spring will not likely need replacement.They dont seem to wear in the way we are used to with a pistol.
