Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Fortis Hammer fit my standard AR-15 upper receiver?
Yes. The Fortis Hammer is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for any standard mil-spec AR-15 or M16 upper receiver. No gunsmithing or modification is required — simply remove your existing charging handle and install the Hammer in its place.
Is the Fortis Hammer compatible with suppressed or piston-driven AR builds?
The Fortis Hammer works well with standard direct-impingement AR-15 builds. If you run a suppressed setup or a piston-driven system that produces increased gas blowback, you may want to pair it with an ambidextrous latch upgrade for added control, though the Hammer's robust construction handles elevated pressures better than standard mil-spec handles.
How does the redesigned back stop improve durability over a standard charging handle?
Traditional AR charging handles place stress directly on the roll pin when the latch is actuated under load, which can lead to pin failure or latch cracking over time. Fortis redesigned the back stop geometry on the Hammer so that stress is redistributed across a broader surface area, significantly reducing the risk of roll pin shear and extending the service life of the handle even under high-round-count use.
