Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Fortis Hammer fit my mil-spec AR-15 upper receiver?
Yes. The Fortis Hammer Charging Handle is designed to drop into any standard mil-spec AR-15 or M16 upper receiver without modification. It is compatible with the vast majority of 5.56/.223 and other standard AR-15 platform builds available today.
How durable is the gold anodized finish, and will it wear over time?
The gold anodized finish is a hard-coat anodizing process applied directly to the 7075-T6 aluminum, making it significantly more scratch- and corrosion-resistant than paint or Cerakote alternatives. With normal use and basic maintenance, the finish holds up well through extended range sessions, though heavy contact wear over many thousands of cycles may cause minor finish wear at high-friction points — which is normal for any anodized component.
What makes the Fortis Hammer different from a standard mil-spec charging handle?
Unlike a basic mil-spec charging handle, the Fortis Hammer features a redesigned latch back stop that shifts stress away from the roll pin — a common failure point on standard handles. The aggressive serrations also offer far better purchase during rapid manipulation or when wearing gloves, and the 7075-T6 billet construction is notably stronger than the cast or lower-grade aluminum used in many mil-spec handles. The result is a charging handle that's more ergonomic, more reliable, and built to outlast standard options.
