SKU: FORT556-HAMMER-ANO
The Fortis Hammer AR15/M16 Anodized is a precision-engineered hammer assembly designed for 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington platform builds. Fortis Manufacturing produces this component with anodized finishing to withstand field-duty corrosion and wear. The hammer is engineered as a drop-in replacement part for standard AR-15 and M16-pattern receivers, making it a critical component for operators who demand consistent ignition reliability across extended firing cycles.
Weighing 0.19 pounds with compact dimensions (3.75 x 1 x 11 inches), this hammer assembly integrates into the lower receiver's hammer pin assembly without requiring permanent modification. The anodized finish provides a hard oxide coating that resists corrosion from moisture and salt environments—particularly valuable for LE agencies operating in coastal regions or operators deploying in humid climates. The hammer geometry is optimized for reliable striker engagement with standard and match-grade triggers across various pull weights and designs.
This component is ideal for precision rifle builders, law enforcement armorer teams, military personnel, and competitive shooters who require replacement or upgrade hammer assemblies for AR-pattern platforms. Whether replacing a worn hammer from duty use, building a new rifle from stripped components, or maintaining a fleet of department weapons, the Fortis hammer serves as a reliable, manufacturer-backed component. Fortis Manufacturing's focus on high-tolerance manufacturing makes this hammer suitable for both general duty weapons and precision-match builds where ignition consistency directly affects shot group performance.
The AR-15 hammer assembly is one of the most critical components in the fire control group, directly affecting reliability and trigger response. A quality hammer with proper hardness and geometry ensures consistent striker force, preventing misfires and light primer strikes that compromise functionality in the field. The anodized finish on this Fortis component adds durability without adding weight, making it a practical upgrade for long-service-life applications.
