Colt
The Colt M5 Sentry Carbine 16" Upper Receiver Group – a masterstroke of innovation, precision, and performance. This unique component, fresh off a Colt M5 Carbine, takes firearm technology to the next level. With a lineage dating back to 2017 in foreign military and law enforcement service, this groundbreaking product is now making waves in the US commercial and law enforcement markets. And for the Colt loyalists? Colt's new proprietary free float rail promises to impress.
The Colt M5 Sentry Carbine 16" Upper Receiver Group comes finished in matte black, complete with a hard coat anodized 'C' marked upper receiver. The free-floating Colt 15" thin M-LOK rail is secured with two bolts and also includes an MLOK detachable sling mount, etched with the unmistakable Colt logo.
Colt integrated the upper receiver group with a dovetail receiver and rail, similar to the Geissele Super Duty Rifle. This unique design ensures seamless integration and maximum durability.
The 16.1" barrel, factory Colt Bolt Carrier Group, and Colt factory FSB style low profile gas block ensure smooth, consistent performance. The action is gas operated semi-auto, the rate of twist is 1:7, and the chamber is designed for 5.56 NATO.
The Troy M4 Front & Rear collapsible sights, along with the Radian Raptor black anodized charging handle with oversized handle, guarantee the precision and control you need in every situation.
Note: This is a take-apart from a complete rifle, which comes to Charlie's new. No factory box

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.
