Otter Creek Labs
The OCM5 from Otter Creek Labs is a purpose-built clone of the Allen Engineering AEM5 suppressor — the original 5.56mm NATO can fielded on the Mk18 CQBR, M4A1 SOPMOD Block I, and SR-16/SR-15 platforms in service with Naval Special Warfare and CAG from the late 1990s through the early GWOT. If you're building an authentic SEAL Team, DEVGRU, or Delta carbine clone from the Black Hawk Down / early Iraq era, the AEM5 is the correct can — and the OCM5 is the cost-effective, in-production reproduction.
Specs: 5.56 NATO rated, lightweight titanium construction, compatible with Allen Engineering two part braek and collar muzzle devices, roughly 7.5" in length and ~22 oz. Finish and weld pattern are dialed in to match the AEM5's distinctive appearance, and the Form 4 tax stamp is the only thing standing between you and a period-correct setup.
Otter Creek Labs is not Allen Engineering, but they produce a good looking knock-off at an affordable price.
THIS IS A SERIALIZED ITEM. 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 Suppressor page for more details.
