Charlie's Custom Clones is arranging to have large numbers of M40A3 and M40A5 rifle parts available online, in stock. This will be a slow ramp-up, but what we have noticed is many of our customers who are building or having an M40 rifle built are running a scavenger hunt to find M40 parts and waiting 4, 6 and 8 months, before working with their gunsmith to get the hard work done.
This will be a slow ramp-up, as we have placed orders months back, and some orders yet to be made, but some components are starting to arrive, and we should be close to fully stocked by early Fall, 2023.
USMC M40A3/5 Stocks, Optics, barrels and parts available at Charlie's
We are known for our barrels, scopes and rifles, and mostly for the period from 1995 to present. We are barrel nerds and scope snobs, but having the right barrel and optic, make for the mission.
Our sniper rifle expertise has been centered around the early 2000's SOCOM rifles, like the Mk12, Mk11, M110 and Mk13. We have recently ventured into the M40 realm, and our goal is to provide as many of the parts for the M40A3 and M40A5 - in stock and ready to ship - to you or to your gunsmith. While most sniper rifles we like to offer complete rifles or components, the nature of the M40 buyer is a little more intimate, and our customers tend to want to source parts and send to their preferred gunsmith, and that is the model that we are adopting. I would suspect that in due time, we might have a registry of a few gunsmiths who specialize in M40 rifles, and eventually that may lead to us offering full rifles, but that is not anywhere in the planning at this time.
In addition to great combat rifles, like the military sniper community, that has led us to also serve the PRS and ELR shooter. So, we carry great names like AI and Cadex and others, and also the best optics that money can buy. For our customers buying full rifles, we offer some great combo discounts with many rifle scope and mount companies, as well as suppressor manufacturers.
We have online chat during business hours, in addition, you can contact us with product questions on Instagram and Facebook at @charliesclones as well as email and phone support. Let us know how we can help you, and help to make your shooting sports ambitions come true. And, I have been a member and contributor here on Snipers Hide for years, so you can feel free to DM me here as well.

So, what is Charlie's all about?
Charlie's specializes in military correct rifles for shooting enthusiasts, as well as for military and law enforcement. We are a small business based in Virginia, and our Potomac Armory brand is a licensed firearms manufacturer and registered DOD contractor and law enforcement dealer. In a few short years, our consumer brand, Charlie's Custom Clones, has grown to be the leading brand for shooting enthusiasts who are looking to increase their proficiency and their armament collection with military rifles and the hobby of clone building, which is just another way of saying that our customers want to buy or build a military correct rifle, largely as collectors, but also as active operators. The word, "Clone" in our name scares people that think we have fake products. We do not. Nothing can be further from the truth, as to have a clone rifle, is to have as exact a copy of an actual military issued weapon, as a civilian possibly can have.We are known for our barrels, scopes and rifles, and mostly for the period from 1995 to present.
