The Gordon Carbine is the M4-pattern rifle carried by Delta Force operators during the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu — immortalized in Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down and in the accounts of the men who fought there. As carried on the ground in 1993, the defining architecture was a 14.5-inch barrel run as a single system with a long three-piece FSB collar and the Ops Inc / AEM M4 suppressor — barrel, collar, and can treated as one unit rather than a bolt-on accessory. The full clone history is decoded here.
At Charlie's Custom Clones we build the Gordon Carbine to that architecture, and we also offer the Gordon Delta Carbine A2 Upper Receiver Group as a complete assembly — upper, barrel, handguard, and collar — so you can build the correct clone without sourcing each component separately. Ours is an A2 / 727-side interpretation that preserves the 14.5-inch M4-Delta system rather than a reproduction of one man's exact receiver.
Two shorter barrel options are also available for a compact clone or CQB build: the 12.5-inch variant and the 12.7-inch variant with clamped collar, representing later, shorter iterations of the pattern. Both ship from our shop in the United States and include the AEM hardware correct to the build.
If you are building a Delta Force clone impression from Operation Gothic Serpent, or you simply want the most historically documented Gordon-pattern upper in the clone-correct market, this is the page. Every Gordon Carbine upper on this page is inspected and documented before shipment. We do not build approximations.
