Daniel Defense Mk18 Folding Pistol with SB Tactical Brace in BLACK

The Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol, equipped with the Law Tactical folding device and SB-Tactical SOB Pistol Stabilizing Brace, is a variation of the MK18 SBR, which has been extremely popular within the Law Enforcement and Special Operations communities.

Available Exclusively from Charlies Custom Clones

This firearm is classified as a Pistol and not a Short Barreled Rifle (NFA regulated items require ATF approval and a tax stamp). The Daniel Defense MK18 Folding Pistol features the railed forend Daniel Defense currently provides to USSOCOM and a 10.3” Cold Hammer Forged Barrel, the same length commonly used for CQB operations. The MK18 RISII features the Bolt-Up System and has been rigorously tested prior to fielding by USSOCOM. This pistol comes equipped with the rugged and comfortable Daniel Defense Pistol Grip with an integral trigger guard and soft touch overmolding. The MK18 Pistol is unmatched in size, weight, and performance.

Note on construction:  Daniel Defense full constructs this pistol as a Daniel Defense Pistol, complete with the pistol brace, and Charlie's adds the Law Tactical folding device to the factory manufactured pistol to bring to you the best Mk18 commercially available pistol on the market.  Daniel Defense has another folding pistol, but has a different brace.  You can choose.  At Charlie's, we like the SB Tactical SB3 brace, as it fits on a full milspec buffer tube, and allows you -- the owner -- to choose to upgrade your pistol to an SBR, which is a regulated NFA item, but with a small bit of engraving, and the electronic filing of your Form 1, you could have your tax stamp in a matter of weeks, and then change out the brace for stock, as the SB3 allows you to leverage the same buffer tube.

This model is with a Black RIS rail which use to be quite rare.  It is no longer rare, but it is in very low supply and hard to get, as fewer are produced, and demand is very high.

Also, knowing that individuals have specific preferences to actual military correct parts and commercial parts as well as varying budget preferences, Charlie's presents you with options for the BCG:  standard milspec nitrided bolt and carrier group for extreme performance, of the Daniel Defense logo phosphated bolt.  For the charging handle, you have a choice of the commercial premium Grip-n-Rip charging handle, or the more traditional military charging handle, both in forged anodized aluminum construction.

NOTICE: The ATF is taking comments through January 4, 2021 on how to classify AR Pistols with a brace. While the final classification is not certain, the ATF has made it clear that an AR Pistol with a brace can be a pistol, but only if the facts and how you use and equip your pistol make it more than likely that the firearm can be shot with one hand, and not supported by the other hand, and not meant to be shouldered to shoot. The larger the weapon, the larger the caliber of ammo, the heavier it is (including the capacity of the magazine), all contribute to what the ATF will likely classify as a short barreled rifle, and subject to the NFA. Also included in the ATF’s consideration is the type of optic used, and whether the optic lends it self to one hand shooting, or shouldering and a cheek weld.

We provide you this notice, as this pistol, while legal to sell as a pistol today, could be consider an SBR by the ATF. The ATF in its request for comments has indicated that it is considering a one-time free registration of any AR pistol as an SBR.

You should understand the flux of the legalities of this item and make an informed judgement as you make your purchase decisions. The full text of the ATF’s notice and request for comments can be found here, and you may also want to submit your comments, and the instructions for doing so are listed in this ATF Notice and Request for Comments on the use of Pistol Braces.

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.

California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.

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.
