Colt current production lower receivers, complete. 100% Colt parts, Carbine marked lower, with the QR code on the magazine well. CR serial number.
These are the 2020 design and serial number, and production is current year production. We call them 2020 as Colt changed the magwell engraving to "Cabine", dropping the M4 Carbine label for production, and serial numbers and QR coding at that time followed the 2018/29 production.
Charlie's sources new Colt factory lowers and also "take-offs" from full rifles. This item is a rifle take-off. Not used, only fired at the Colt factory for testing. Not eligible for a pistol build.
Item is exactly as shown in the picture, which shows the full lower receiver. This item left the Colt factory as a rifle, so it cannot be used as a pistol. Colt has not distributed lower receivers since 2019, and all receivers not leaving the Colt factory as a lower, left the factory as a rifle. You may hear other stories, but the truth is any stripped or full lower receiver after 2019 has been disassembled from a rifle by a dealer for sale as a part, and cannot become a pistol. Lots of stories floating around, some to confuse you. Charlie's is one of the largest sellers of 100% Colt rifles, uppers, and Colt parts.
All lowers are sold without the ability to return the item, as we do not accept returns for firearms, unless your FFL advises us of damage. Scrapes and scratches are not "damages" on this lower; that is called "Colt."
Serial Number Series: CR
Model: Carbine
QR Code: Yes, left on magwell
Virgin Lower: No, rifle take-off MAY NOT BE USED TO BUILD A PISTOL

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.
