This is a genuine Colt M4 Carbine stripped lower receiver, forged and machined by Colt at their West Hartford plant and roll-marked with the correct "M4 CARBINE" designation on the magazine well — the exact marking used on military-contract M4 lowers and on Colt's restricted law-enforcement LE6920/LE6921 production. Serialized, finished in Colt's factory black hardcoat anodize, and delivered stripped for a custom build.
The M4 Carbine roll-mark is the single most important detail on a Colt clone lower. Commercial Colt guns carry a different mark; this one carries the military-contract mark that ties any subsequent build to the genuine article — whether you are assembling a Block I M4A1, a CAG URG-I, a Mk18 Mod 1, or a duty patrol rifle. Pair it with a Colt M4 upper, the correct fire-control group, and period-correct furniture, and the build will photograph and serialize correctly against reference documentation.
Charlie's Custom Clones sells these stripped Colt M4 Carbine lowers as they become available — typically to qualified FFL recipients. Order yours today and build your clone on the right serialized foundation.
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.
