AR-15 Hammer Spring

The AR-15 hammer spring, as are all of our Keepshooting.com house brand spare and replacement parts for the AR-15 platform, is a brand new part produced in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that holds several foreign military contracts. As such, all parts are compatible with and interchangeable in any MIL-SPEC AR-15.

Located within the lower receiver adjacent the hammer, the AR-15 hammer spring is a vital component to the operation of the rifle, as it plays a crucial role in facilitating the firing sequence. After the firing sequence is initiated with a trigger pull, the hammer is thrust forward by the hammer spring so that it may strike the firing pin, which in turn strikes the cartridge primer. The hammer is only capable of doing so provided it is held under tension by the hammer spring. It is secured inside the lower receiver via the hammer pin.

Spare and replacement parts are an important consideration when it comes to firearms. Like any machine, firearms rely on a series of parts to function properly – especially those components that impact the firing sequence. In general, if a part breaks or fails, a repair or replacement becomes immediately necessary – not only to keep a firearm functioning properly but also to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.

It is also important to consider availability when discussing spare and replacement parts.
