URGI Count Blemula Geissele Near Clone Budget Rifle - Black - 2024 Potomac Armory Production Build

Unleash Your Inner Night Stalker with Count Blemula's Blemished Beauty and a mid-length military barrel

This exclusive Geissele-based near clone URGI rifle, built by Potomac Armory for Charlie's Custom Clones, offers military-inspired performance at a budget-friendly price point. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, this rifle combines the reliability of an FN military grade mid-length gas system barrel with the precision of Geissele components, and the budget benefits of leveraging "The Count."

Featuring the coveted "Count Blemula" marked Geissele BLEM lower receiver and BLEM Mk16 DDC rail, this rifle is a unique offering for clone enthusiasts and practical shooters alike. Assembled by the experts at Potomac Armory, it includes a mix of blemished Geissele parts, new Geissele components, and quality additions from Potomac, FN and Magpul. While aesthetically marked, these two blemished parts maintain full functionality and offer significant savings.

For many shooters, finding a high-quality rifle that doesn't break the bank can feel like an impossible task. Budget options often lack the features and reliability needed for serious use, while top-tier rifles can be prohibitively expensive.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Geissele BLEM lower receiver and Mk16 DDC rail with Count Blemula marks
• FN 14.7" mid-length barrel, pinned and welded to 16" for no tax stamp required
• Geissele ALG trigger and Maritime Bolt release for enhanced performance
• Potomac Armory CAGE Code M4 upper with gray dry lube interior finish (Colt clone upper)
• Magpul steel M4 micro folding back-up sights for reliable target acquisition
• B5 Bravo stock for improved cheek weld and comfort

This URGI near clone solves the budget dilemma by offering premium components at a reduced price point. By utilizing Geissele's blemished parts program, shooters can access top-tier quality without the associated cost. The result is a rifle that performs like a high-end build but fits within a more modest budget.

Embrace your inner tactician with this carefully curated rifle build. The "Count Blemula" theme adds a touch of playful mystique to a seriously capable firearm. Like the Count himself, this rifle may bear a few cosmetic imperfections, but its performance remains impeccable.

Diving deeper into the details, this rifle is a testament to thoughtful component selection. The FN 14.7" barrel, made from CMV 4150 steel and chrome-lined, offers exceptional durability and accuracy. Its mid-length gas system promotes smoother cycling and reduced wear compared to carbine-length systems.

The Geissele Mk16 rail, despite its blemished status, provides a rock-solid mounting platform for accessories. Its M-LOK slots offer versatility for attaching lights, lasers, and other mission-critical gear. The DDC (Desert Dirt Color) finish adds a touch of tactical flair.

At the heart of the lower receiver, the Geissele ALG trigger provides a crisp, clean break for enhanced accuracy. The Geissele Maritime Bolt Catch offers improved ergonomics for faster reloads. The Posi-Snap full ambi selector makes "going hot" a breeze. These premium components elevate the rifle's performance beyond typical budget offerings.  Reliability is further enhanced by the Microbest Nitride BCG, known for its smooth operation and corrosion resistance. The B5 Bravo stock, which is a slimmed-down SOPMOD style, provides a comfortable cheek weld and battery storage capabilities.

For those building a clone or inspired build, this rifle serves as an excellent base. While not an exact replica of any specific military rifle, it incorporates many elements found in modern service weapons. The ability to customize the muzzle device allows users to tailor the rifle to their specific needs, whether for suppressor use or enhanced flash hiding capabilities.

Note on Muzzle Device:  Standard issue on this rifle is an A2 birdcage style flash hider on the 14.7" barrel, pinned and welded to 16"+, making it not a short barreled rifle.  If you would like to have a different muzzle device, choose that option and add the muzzle device of your choice to the cart.  As this is a factory 14.7" barrel, most all muzzle devices at least as long as the mil-spec standard A2 will work to get your barrel beyond 16". 

MANY HAVE ASKED FOR A SPECIFIC MUZZLE DEVICE, and we are more than happy to accommodate.  Making your rifle your own is what we do.  Mostly, just add the muzzle device that you want to your cart.  We carry a pretty good selection of some of the best flash hiders, brakes and suppressor mounts available.  We stock no junk.  The cost of a standard A2 flash hider is de minimus, and the extra handling to make notes and change out the muzzle device requires a little extra special attention, which is far greater in lost efficiency than the cost of the A2 flash hider, so we are not charging extra for this, and we are not crediting you for the A2.  I hope this make sense.  Even the effort to change the muzzle device, is not worth the time and effort to charge you more and change your order.  

PLEASE NOTE THE DELIVERY TIMES.  We do anticipate that standard A2 muzzle devices will be a shorter wait, but we do take some additional time for assembly and pin and weld of the flash hiders, if you make a special request.

NOTE ON OPTICS:  We do offer a discounted price on many scopes, if you add one with your rifle.  This is more typical of the higher priced scopes than the well performing budget scopes.  Feel free to ask for a quote to add an optic.
