SHTF Armorer: 10 Basic Items For Your Armorer’s Kit
... I find it hard to find dedicated articles that focus on repair skills that will surely be needed after firearms are used daily over an extended period of time.

Where To Begin?
Granted, it’s difficult to make these very specific, since everyone likes a different platform, and trying to cover “how to fix any gun” is like trying to write an article on “how to fix any car”. It just can’t be done, and it’s one of the reasons I try to tell people to consolidate platforms (especially if you are part of a planned SHTF team), and to take armorer’s courses on the platforms that are mainstays of the team or the individual. I know many people that have scores of guns that each has its own individual place in “the plan”, but the bare, simple truth is this: you have two hands and your belt and back, and you can’t take ‘em all with you out the door. Sorry, folks. It’s fine to have hundreds of guns (we encourage it, actually!) but for the ones that you’ll have with you without fail when you bug out the door, you NEED to have a personal, intricate knowledge of how they work. That YouTube video that helped you fully disassemble your SKS so you can install a folding stock probably ain’t gonna be available when you’re lining up a shot on a nice plump deer to feed the crew and the gun goes “click” with a gummed-up firing pin. Know what you have. Know what you’ll take. Know how to fix it.
