Daniel Defense Complete Lower Receiver — Factory Assembled | Ready to Run
The cleanest path to a DD lower. These complete lowers arrive from Daniel Defense fully assembled — stock, grip, trigger group, buffer, spring — in a factory DD box. Charlie's receives them direct, either as dedicated lowers or pulled from new DD rifles. Either way, the assembly is DD's, the quality assurance is DD's, and you get a complete lower ready to mate with your upper.
Why Complete Matters
A factory-assembled lower isn't just about convenience — it's about quality control. DD assembles these to their own spec, not to whatever happens to be on the parts shelf when you're building at home. The trigger group is properly staked and fitted. The buffer system is correct for the intended caliber. The finish is consistent. For collectors and clone builders using DD lowers to match DD uppers, factory assembly is the right answer.
This lower features the mil-spec enhanced flared magwell — one of DD's signature improvements over standard mil-spec — precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum, and DD's hard anodize finish. Stock options vary; contact CCC to confirm current configuration availability.
What You Should Know Before Buying
Complete lower ships as a firearm; FFL transfer required. The "no stock" option is available for those building pistols or sourcing their own stock. Confirm your preferred stock configuration with CCC at time of order.

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.
