Had my FAL to the range today to sight in the ACOG I just got for it.  First shot the rifle jams... Grrrr.  Second shot it completely locks up.  I disassemble it and out falls a chunk of metal about the size of a pinkie nail.  Ruh roh!  So I start looking for what it can be.  The top of the hammer, which appears to ride in a slot on the bolt carrier sheared right off.  The hammer is marked EAI,  I'm assuming that is Enterprise Arms.  So it looks like I need a new hammer, suggestions?

I would call up Entreprise and see if they will replace it.  If not, I would use an original hammer unless U need a US hammer 4 parts count.

You know I don't know if I do as I did not have the build done.  I know the previous owner and he would have it compliant, but I'm not sure which parts would be the compliance parts.



I could try calling EAI, maybe it was just a weak hammer.  I know the previous owner shot it, and I shot it before as well, but its been a couple years since I had.  I just founf it odd on the first round fired it apparently broke.

Call Entreprise and see if it is covered under Warranty. Otherwise, if you want to try a non-EAI internal, you can go with DSA.

Currently DSA and Falcon Arms offer US-made hammer/trigger/sear, but I believe only as a set.  Century, Vulcan, and FSE also had sets in the past.  To my knowledge, the only place U can get a US-made hammer a la carta is Entreprise, unless someone has one lying around.  I have an EAI hammer and sear that I have used in the past.  Haven't had any trouble with them yet.  Hopefully EAI will send U another.

I'm sure they will, a hammer is cheap and good customer relations are invaluable.
