The Colt M4 EPR — Enhanced Patrol Rifle — is the short-barreled law-enforcement variant of the Colt M4 Commando, chambered in 5.56 NATO with an 11.5-inch chrome-lined government-profile barrel and the factory Colt flash hider. This is an NFA item: a true short-barreled rifle, serialized on a Colt M4 Carbine-marked lower, sold only to qualified Class III buyers.
The 11.5-inch barrel is the same length fielded on the Colt Commando family for decades — short enough for vehicle work, breaching, and protective-detail deployment, and long enough to keep 5.56 terminal performance respectable inside typical engagement distances. Colt's EPR pairs that barrel with a mid-length gas system, H2 buffer, Colt flash hider, and the standard LE-marked lower, delivering a factory SBR that is ready to mount an optic, a light, and a suppressor out of the box.
This is a transferable NFA item and requires a Form 4 transfer through a qualified SOT/Class III dealer. Charlie's Custom Clones stocks the genuine Colt M4 EPR — not a pieced-together clone. Order yours today and we'll coordinate the ATF paperwork with your local dealer.
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.

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.
