The Colt Competition brand was established to bring the modern sporting rifle and target shooting with quality products to the civilian market. While the brand had a very short life, it made an impact with a certain style of target rifle.
This is the 17" Competition rifle with free floating round rail, and features a Bergara barrel, known for performance and durability, and now found more often in production bolt action rifles. The 17" HBAR barrel is paired with a rifle length gas block, to provide a shorter dwell time, and a twist rate that is optimized for 55 to 62 grain bullets. The M193 55 grain bullet is one of the faster 5.56mm bullets to leave the muzzle, allowing for longer flight at flatter trajectories.
The round rail features Picatinny rail panels, perfect for a bipod or any accessories to be mounted, and the Magpul flip-up back-up sights are a perfect starter irons until you put a scope on this rifle. The Colt competition muzzle brake helps keep the muzzle flat for rapid follow up shots. A Mil-Spec BCG, and charging handle finish this upper.
We offer two other options for muzzle devices, in case you just want a different setup. You can purchase a different 5.56mm muzzle device, and we will install it, or purchase with none, and add your own.
Specifications:
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.
