The Geissele GFR Maritime Reconnaissance Rifle in 6mm ARC, featuring an 18-inch barrel and a distinctive Desert Dirt Color (DDC) finish, is a mission built rifle, precision engineered for performance excellence with the 6 ARC. Built from the ground-up as a dedicated acruate 6 ARC rilfe, not an AR adapted for 6 ARC. Originally designed to meet the demanding specifications of the Department of Defense, this rifle is now accessible to the wider public, offering a blend of military-grade reliability and cutting-edge features.
The Geissele GFR Maritime Reconnaissance Rifle has been a long time coming, and welcomed by the tactical firearms community. Engineered to surpass the stringent demands of the military, this rifle is distinguished by its integration of Geissele's proprietary components, from the ground up, ensuring unmatched performance and reliability. Central to its design is the utilization of the 6mm ARC cartridge, offering superior ballistics and range capabilities, making it a formidable choice for both tactical applications and precision shooting.
For operators and enthusiasts alike, the quest for a rifle that seamlessly combines reliability under harsh conditions with precision accuracy has often been met with compromise. The Geissele GFR addresses this challenge head-on by offering a solution that leaves no room for compromise. Through meticulous design and manufacturing, it presents a harmonized balance of durability and performance that meets the needs of the most demanding users.
At the core of the Geissele GFR Maritime Reconnaissance Rifle's design philosophy is the seamless integration of form and function. The rifle's barrel, crafted from cold hammer-forged chrome-lined steel, is engineered for durability and precision, ensuring consistent performance under the most rigorous conditions. The inclusion of Geissele's GFR-E trigger, a mission built two-stage trigger, exemplifies the brand's commitment to precision, offering a balance between lightness for accuracy and forgiveness for close-quarters engagements. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the rifle's Super Duty lower, precision-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and featuring a Tier-1 Mil-Spec Lower Parts Kit, further enhanced with Geissele's Maritime Bolt catch and Mag Release for unparalleled reliability and ease of use.
The 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) represents a significant evolution in long-range shooting and tactical performance, designed to meet the exacting requirements of both competitive shooters and tactical operators. This innovative cartridge offers an optimal balance of ballistics, manageable recoil, and ammunition capacity, catering to those who prioritize precision and efficiency in their shooting endeavors.
Why should the 6mm ARC command your attention? Firstly, its development was driven by the desire to achieve superior effectiveness at longer ranges, surpassing traditional calibers in terms of trajectory, wind resistance, and impact energy. The 6mm ARC does this while maintaining a form factor that allows for increased magazine capacity and compatibility with standard AR-15 platforms, including the Geissele GFR Maritime Reconnaissance Rifle.
However, innovation often comes at a price. The 6mm ARC cartridge, being a relatively new entrant to the market, may carry a premium in terms of cost per round compared to more established calibers. This factor is crucial for potential adopters to consider, especially those who train frequently or participate in high-volume shooting activities. Despite this, the performance advantages and the potential for the 6mm ARC to redefine long-range shooting standards make it an investment worth considering for enthusiasts seeking the cutting edge of firearm technology.
Incorporating the 6mm ARC, the Geissele GFR Maritime Reconnaissance Rifle not only aligns with the latest advancements in ammunition but also offers shooters a platform that maximizes the cartridge's capabilities. This synergy between rifle and ammunition opens up new horizons in precision shooting, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing evolution of tactical and competitive firearms.

Note on tan colors and Geissele DDC: First, you should know that getting the color correct for the Internet is hard. Every tan rifle will show differently in different lighting. This rifle is DDC, and if you know Geissele, you know that not all aluminum anodize looks the same. The various parts of the rifle will come with varying hues of tan, FDE, olive, and desert dirt. We do not accept returns for color differences, or at least not without a restocking fee and shipping. Make sure you love it before you take it home from your local firearms dealer. And, if you must return, know that the risk of liking the color is yours.
Note on Muzzle Device: This rifle comes with the HUXWRX flash hider. Some pics show the initial flash hider, which was Geissele made flash hider, but production runs come with the HUXWRX.
Combo Deals: If you buy the rifle, ask us about a combo deal with an optic and/or suppressor.

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!!!)
