With clients including the US DoD, Canadian armed forces, NATO, and other military and LE agencies around the world, Cadex has built a reputation for cutting edge equipment. Their dedicated staff manufacture the wide range of products in their state-of-the-art 60,000+ square foot facility. This is the pedigree from which their precision rifles come.
The CDX-MC Kraken precision rifles are an amalgamation of all the features the precision marksman needs. A sub-MOA system built with attention to detail at every step. A V-shaped bedding system eliminated movement of the CNC and wire EDM action in the machined chassis. The free floating forend serves not only as a platform for mounting clip-on thermal or night vision on the full length top rail (multiple cants available), but also as a mirage control tube. The folding buttstock utilizes a glove-friendly, rattle-free mechanism and protects the bolt handle while shortening the weapon for transport or storage. In addition to folding, the stock is adjustable at multiple points without tools. The bottom metal is detachable allowing access to the underside of the action for tuning the trigger, cleaning, or swapping the magazine sleeve to take different magazines, all without losing the weapon's zero. As with the stock folding mechanism, the trigger guard and magazine release are oversized to make gloved operation easier. The finger grooved grip by Ergo bears the Cadex logo and is rubberized for a sure grip. A purpose-built action houses the 60 degree lift, three lug bolt with radial fluting, and a Sako style extractor. A heavy duty recoil lug will help hold things in place over the weapon's service life. Finishing off the action is Cadex's DX2 Evo trigger, convertible by the end user between single and double stage as well as adjustable from 1.5-2.5 pounds.
What truly makes a rifle shine above others is a superior barrel. The heart of every Cadex rifle is a single point-cut, match grade Bartlein barrel made using a Cadex designed 1.280" straight taper contour. Fluting is used to decrease weight, improve weapon balance, and provide more surface area for cooling. Mil-Spec 5R rifling at an optimized twist rate reduces bullet deformation and aides in easier cleaning than conventional rifling. Things are topped off with a threaded muzzle ready to accept a sound suppressor or the included Cadex muzzle brake.
The Kraken is set apart from other Cadex rifles by its patented barrel change system. With possibly the lowest POI shift on the market, the Cadex Kraken maintains traditional thread in barrel design using a unique system to torque the barrel from the breech end. The system can be changed from short to long action and caliber conversions can be accomplished in minutes. The Kraken is a tool for the mission driven end user.

Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. This item must ship to an FFL holder. No civilian exceptions.
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state.
2) Find your FFL… Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to Charlie’s (Make them earn their fee!!!)
3) Be patient! You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers. Please click the “Buying a Firearm” tab at the top of this page for more information.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
