The Daniel Defense lower receiver is offered here as a complete, DD factory assembled lower, taken off a new DD rifle. DD lowers are known for their quality and great finish. The DD lower receiver features Mil-Spec with enhanced flared magazine well and rear receiver QD swivel attachment point. The receiver is CNC machined of 7075-T6 Aluminum, Type III Hard Coat Anodized. The lower parts are DD factory, including the ambi safety selector. To make shooting more enjoyable, an H1 buffer is standard, housed in a forged aluminum 6-position mil-spec DD buffer tube. The DD buffer tubes are known for reliability and solid construction, made from the harder 7075-T6 aluminum, and not 6000 series as is more standard with lesser carbine buffer tubes. The buttstock and grip are the more modern DD buttstock and grip with glass filled polymer with Soft-touch over molding.
* Trigger selection is based upon the rifle model from which the lower is harvested. Some DD rifles include the Geissele match trigger, but most DD lowers have a DD trigger. Charlies is not changing the trigger when we receive the lower or the rifle.
** As the lowers are "harvested" from complete Daniel Defense rifles, the markings on the left magwell might be slightly different than the picture. Some lowers are harvested from short barreled rifles, and will be delisted from the NFA database. This is perfectly fine and legal, as owning an SBR is determined by the nature of the complete rifle and not the status of the lower on an administrative database. What this means, however, is that if you indend to build an SBR on a Form 1, you should contact Charlie's staff, as current delisting timelines are a number of months after purchasing your rifle.

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.
