LMT Defender 5.56 NATO - 14.5" SBR or 16" pin and weld

With Flat Dark Earth Magpul SL stock/forend and Surefire Warcomp.

This LMT is an upgrade from the standard M4s offered by other companies. LMT uses cryogenically treated CMV barrels, a Nitride bolt carrier group, and top quality components. The upper is the "Billboard" style with a chrome-lined 1:7 twist M4 profile barrel, Magpul SL handguard, LMT Heavy Duty Tactical charging handle, A2 front sight, and a Surefire 3 Prong Warcomp which can be used to mount Surefire SOCOM series silencers. The Defender 2000 lower features a Magpul SL buttstock on a six-position receiver extension with QD end plate and the LMT Estonia pistol grip. Everything you need, nothing you don't, this patrol rifle is simple and rugged.

This is a very attractive, limited edition with the Magpul FDE furniture.

NOTE: This 14.5" barrel model is available as a factory Short Barreled Rifle, or may be pinned and welded by Charlie's and delisted to a non-NFA rifle.  You choose.

The SBR option is an NFA restricted item and will need to be shipped to an NFA capable dealer and the purchaser will need to pay a tax stamp and complete a Form 4 before they can take possession of the firearm. Be aware of this before purchasing.  The pin and weld option will require an extra two weeks for shop time to pin and weld.

The process of delisting is very easy, should you choose to have this rifle pin and welded to have a barrel of at least 16".  An NFA item only exists to the extent it fits the definition of an SBR, in this case.  As soon as the muzzle device is pinned and welded to the barrel, the rifle can now transfer as a normal rifle.  In the background, Charlie's will notify the ATF to remove the rifle from the NFA registry.  Technically, this is a courtesy.  The customer needs no documentation that the rifle is no longer an SBR, as the rifle fails to meet that definition.  The process of the ATF removing the rifle from the NFA registry takes some time, but that is only housekeeping on the part of the ATF.

You may also substitute a different muzzle device for additional cost.  Contact our sales team if interested.

Manufacturer's part number:  this is a modified SPM14, upgraded with Magpul FDE stock and handguard and Surefire muzzle device.

If this rifle ships to a magazine restricted state or locality, the magazine will be removed.

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.
