Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Fortis Hammer fit my AR-10 or LR-308 rifle?
Yes. The Fortis Hammer is specifically designed for AR-10 and LR-308 platform rifles chambered in 7.62mm/.308 Winchester. It is not compatible with the standard AR-15/5.56 platform, which uses a smaller charging handle. Always verify your rifle's upper receiver dimensions before installation, as some non-standard AR-10 variants may differ slightly from the DPMS or Armalite pattern specs.
Why upgrade from a mil-spec charging handle to the Fortis Hammer?
Standard mil-spec charging handles are functional but often lack the ergonomic refinements needed for fast, reliable manipulation—especially under stress or while wearing gloves. The Fortis Hammer features aggressive latch serrations for a positive grip, a redesigned back stop that removes stress from the roll pin (a common failure point on standard handles), and premium 7075-T6 billet aluminum construction that outlasts standard cast alternatives.
Can the Fortis Hammer be used with suppressed AR-10 rifles?
The Fortis Hammer is a solid choice for suppressed builds. Its robust latch design and durable billet construction handle the increased gas blowback that suppressed systems often generate. For particularly high-pressure suppressed setups, pairing the Hammer with an adjustable gas block is also recommended to fine-tune your rifle's overall performance and reduce felt gas to the shooter's face.
