If you are looking for a Block 1 M4 Clone Rifle with all the bells and whistles, look no further. Charlie's brings you the real deal in M4 clones. This M4 has all the SOCOM rifle features of an M4A1 Block 1, without the uber high price of the Colt SOCOM lower. This 2023 custom configured Colt M4 carbine rifle, in semi-automatic. Charlie's exclusive, custom configured to save a few dollars. This is not the factory LE6920SOCOM. That is here: 2019 Colt Factory M4A1 SOCOM rifle.
Features a 14.5" barrel: heavy SOCOM profile, with a 1.6" pinned and welded extended A2 flash hider. Since the barrel is pinned and welded, this is NOT a short-barreled rifle (SBR), not an NFA item, requiring a special tax stamp. This is street legal.
When Charlie's talks about Clone Rifles, we are talking 100% authentic Colt and KAC parts, not a fake or faux clone rifle.
Charlie's has taken a Colt factory rifle, and added some furniture to bring you a custom Block 1 rifle.
You may have found us by looking for a Block 1 rifle, and that is awesome. Charlie's specializes in military correct rifles for shooting enthusiasts, as well as for military and law enforcement. We are a small business based in Virginia, and our Potomac Armory is a licensed firearms manufacturer and registered DOD contractor and law enforcement dealer. In a few short years, our consumer brand, Charlie's Custom Clones has grown to be the leading brand for shooting enthusiasts who are looking to increase their proficiency and their armament collection with military rifles and the hobby of clone building, which is just another way of saying that our customers want to buy or build a military correct rifle, largely as collectors, but also as active operators. The word, "Clone" in our name scares people that think we have fake products. We do not. Nothing can be further from the truth, as to have a clone rifle is to have as exact a copy of an actual military issued weapon as a civilian possibly can have.
Our core specialty is weapons for special forces, like SOCOM and from the Global War on Terror, and specifically from the period 1995 to present. Our M4A1 and Mk18 uppers and riles for infantry and special forces are amongst the most popular offerings, along with sniper rifles like the Mk12, M40A3, Mk13 and M110.
In addition to great combat rifles, like the military sniper community, that has led us to also serve the PRS and ELR shooter. So, we carry great names like AI and Cadex and others, and also the best optics that money can buy. For our customers buying full rifles, we offer some great combo discounts with many rifle scope and mount companies, as well as suppressor manufacturers.
We have online chat during business hours, in addition, you can contact us with product questions on Instagram and Facebook at @charliesclones as well as email and phone support. Let us know how we can help you, and help to make your shooting sports ambitions come true. Thanks for stopping in.
* Colt factory rifles are received by Charlie's in various formats and are added to and stripped and reassembled as needed for each rifle or upper variant Charlie's makes. Colt M4 lower receivers are marked, "M4 Carbine." Ships in a Colt factory cardboard box with matching serial number.
** Surefire muzzle option will take additional time to have the barrel pinned and welded. This Surefire muzzle device is compatible with the SOCOM generation of Surefire suppressors, including the RC2 and the MINI2 and other suppressors with "SOCOM" in the suppressor name. It is not compatible with older "fast attach" suppressors. For Surefire 3-prong, or open tine Warcomp, order the Warcomp closed tine, and mention in the comments which Surefire muzzle device you want. For Surefire 4-prong SOCOM, add $50 to the order by selecting Shop Supplies here and adjusting the total to $50, and mention in the comments that the added fee is for the 4-prong.
*** Colt upper receivers come with various forge marks, but in 2023 and after, the upper receivers will seldom have a CAGE code marking, but are otherwise identifiable as Colt, including interior dry lubricant and top T-marks engraved and painted white.
**** RAS rail. Panels and vertical grip are made by Prudent American Technologies, which is the same company as P&S Products, which together have been providing RAS rails and associated accessories which are identical to Knights Armament KAC RAS rails and ribbed covers and vertical grips. PAT, P&S and Knights all supply the same products to the US Military. Prudent American makes and has made all Colt M4 "waffle stocks" for military and civilian rifles for decades. Products will carry the PAT Cage Code: 8FW25. RAS rails are machined out of aircraft grade aluminum, exactly the same as KAC RAS rails.
Note: Some photos show slightly different features. The features here are ones that you will get.

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.
