I finally got my lower in and put it all together.
I had the Bolt Ramped (JOEBLACK).
I didn't tell him that I was gonna use a 9mm hammer.
I was getting it ramped to save the wear and tear on my lower, not to use a 223 hammer.

I found out tonight that a semi 9mm (RRA to be exact) will not work when the bolt is ramped.

When the whole thing is together with the 9mm hammer, you can not charge the weapon.
The bolt will not push the hammer back.
I installed the 223 hammer out of my other AR and it worked just fine.
I located a pic of a SEMI 9mm hammer and compared it to mine. It is the same.

I would still ramp the bolt if I had to do it again, but I wouldn't of gotten a 9mm hammer.

FYI- a F/A 9mm hammer is the same has a m16 hammer and it will work when the bolt is ramped or so I was told.

I'll take that 9mm hammer off your hands if you don't want it.  (I had to reply here instead of IM'ing or e-mailing you because the stupid website is not working right.  Sorry.)
