Not happening
The picture and Q&A both show/say this bolt is ramped so it can be used with a 'regular' AR/M16/M4 ect style trigger assembly. The part received does have a very minor ramp but nothing even close to the ramped bolt that CMMG uses... Installed into the firearm it was intended for and sure enough it is hitting/hanging up on the hammer on the forward stroke. Borrowed the bolt from my other AR-9mm (CMMG MK9-LE) and installed into the gun in question, as expected it works fine. Both firearms have the same trigger assembly, same lower ect.. This Brownells bolt looks to be made for use ONLY with a 'dedicated' style 9mm hammer. Up until now I have had nothing but praise for this company, I hope a short phone call tomorrow will get this resolved.
