I hear you about keeping parts but in Kiwiland we just don't. In the past I have wanted/needed/required bits for several of my guns for various reasons, notably a browning A5 and usually the only bits you can get are off old firearms.
When you look online they are plentiful and cheap but no-one wants to keep stock obviously. The export limitations of certain parts out of the US and now the fact you can have issues bringing in gun bits through NZ customs can make it a PITA.
