Q
Charles, member, from FL, United States, asked on October 03, 2019

Do you have a hammer that goes with it? Does it work well with 300 blackout? Do they have 12in hand gards

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Mark H., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 16, 2019

This is a bolt carrier group. The hammer is part of the fire control group/trigger assembly.

Standard AR15 bolts and bolt carrier groups are compatible with the 300 blackout, as they use the same parent cartridge.

No handguard is associated with this product.
