Where to start

Start as high in the system as your project allows

The shop is organised around the build rather than the catalogue. The higher you begin, the less is left for you to reconcile.

01

Complete rifles

One shop answerable for the configuration, the assembly and every interface between them.

Browse rifles
USASOC M4 URG-I SOPMOD 14.5-inch carbine
02

Upper receiver groups

Where the art of the rifle lives. Barrel, gas system, rail, sights and muzzle device, solved together.

Browse uppers
Mk18 Mod 1 upper receiver group, Colt and Daniel Defense
03

Barrels

The heart of the gun. Profile, length, twist, gas system and muzzle interface decide what a build can honestly be.

Browse barrels
Mk12 Douglas stainless SPR profile barrel

Optics & mounts

The mount is part of the optic, not an accessory chosen afterward.

Browse optics
Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x24 riflescope

Suppressors

The can has to agree with the barrel, muzzle device and collar. NFA transfer applies, so start early.

Browse suppressors
SureFire SOCOM Series 2 RC-2 5.56 suppressor

Read first, buy later

Build hubs

If you would rather understand the platform before spending anything, start here. Each hub lays out the variants, the era markers and the parts that have to agree.

Clone-correct is not a category we entered. It is the only thing we do. We hold direct relationships with SureFire, LMT, Nightforce, Cadex, Geissele, Daniel Defense, Leupold, Allen Engineering, A.R.M.S. and Douglas, plus mil and LE distributor status with Colt and HUXWRX.

When a correct part cannot be bought, our sister company Potomac Armory makes it to the specification rather than to a photograph. Few shops cut M110, Mk12 and Mk11 barrels at all. We cut all three.

Not sure which level is right? Call 703.953.2882, use live chat, or email sales@charliescustomclones.com. We would rather help you choose correctly once than help you unwind the wrong purchase later.
