The Daniel Defense MK18 SBR, equipped with factory DD stock, or your choice of upgrade made at Charlie's for SOPMOD stock, gives you the same fighting machine used by the Law Enforcement and Special Operations communities. This firearm is classified as a Short Barreled Rifle (NFA regulated items require ATF approval and a tax stamp). The Daniel Defense MK18 SBR features the railed forend Daniel Defense originally provided to USSOCOM and a 10.3” Cold Hammer Forged Barrel, the same length commonly used for CQB operations. The MK18 RIS II features the Bolt-Up System and has been rigorously tested prior to fielding by SOCOM.
The new independently ambi GRIP-N-RIP Charging Handle accommodates left and right-handed shooters and is engineered for suppressed fire, with anti-gas features that redirect gas flow upward and away from the face and operator. This rifle comes equipped with the rugged and comfortable Daniel Defense Pistol Grip with an integral trigger guard and soft touch overmolding. The MK18 rifle is unmatched, weight, and performance.
Note: Occasionally, some option items are unavailable, but we have reserved just for customers who buy a rifle, so if out of stock, contact our sales team at sales@charliescustomclones.com

Note: Charlie's also offers this as a pistol in black: DD Mk18 folding pistol in black
Note: This is a regulated item with the ATF under the National Firearms Act, and will require registration with your local dealer, and the payment of a $200 tax stamp and a wait period to receive your stamp and gun. The firearm will be shipped to your local dealer, and he/she will hold it until the ATF approves your Form 4 application, which can now be done electronically in relatively fast time. For questions on the process, read our guide here, written for silencers, but is the same process: How to buy an NFA item

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.
