You may have found us by looking for Daniel Defense upper receivers or DD Mk18 products, 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.
In addition to great combat rifles, we carry a large selection of both military correct suppressors, and popular commercial suppressors. We are a Daniel Defense dealer and Potomac Armory is an OEM manufacturer. Charlie's directly resells DD manufactured parts, uppers, barrels rails, and full rifles. We are proud to carry the Daniel product line, and DD has a fantastic reputation as one of the quality AR style manufacturers, with a military style. Potomac Armory uses the barrels and rails to build military correct clone uppers and rifles. CCC curates our offering of DD products, to fit our customer lifestyle, but if you are looking for something from DD that we do not carry, let us know. Most likely, if it is current production, we can get it for you in short order.
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.
