Fuck no! Stay far away! I've got plenty of personal stories from first-hand experience, stories from close friends, and you can find a ton of other stories on ar15.com and the CRA group on Facebook. For some reason, Sniper's Hide is probably the only forum I've ever seen where CCC has a decent reputation. Stay far away, you've been warned.

Euro wont send it to me here in Australia. I thought Charlie might do business is allThe S&B SKU is this:
644-911-972-89-64A68
This is the SKU for a non-USMC scope, which can be found for about $2,900. However, you can search for this SKU and see if it's the USMC version, which is $3,500 at EuroOptic and $3,525 (originally $3,850) at CCC. So, the USMC version is the same SKU, but it's $600 more and has USMC markings.
Does CCC actually carry these S&B USMC scopes? Or do they just take your money, turn around and buy it from EuroOptic, and then ship to the buyer? How is it that ONLY these 2 dealers have this S&B USMC scope (which I originally thought was a EuroOptic exclusive)? Seems a bit odd. It might be nothing, or it might be some shady shit. I wonder if EuroOptic would be able to provide some information to us.
Looking at both sites, it appears that CCC took the photos for this USMC S&B scope directly from EuroOptics site. EuroOptic has changed their photos for this scope over the past year or two, and they take their own photos for most of their product listings, this scope included. If EuroOptic did indeed take their own photos of this scope for the listing (just need to verify this), then the only way that CCC could have possibly gotten the same photos is if they copied them directly from EuroOptic's website
Regardless, why buy this scope from CCC, when EuroOptic is $25 less (it used to be a much larger price difference before CCC had to cut their price), and EuroOptic had an absolutely amazing reputation! EuroOptic is awesome, I only have good things to say about them (as do dozens of my friends who also buy stuff from EuroOptic)!
Because he is.The owner thinks he's justified in taking as much money from you as possible
I believe its both licensing and itar.Is the S&B part of a licensing agreement that won’t ship to Australia? Or is it ITAR controlled? EO is very careful about export, for good reason.
A bunch of high-end military scopes fall under iTAR and may not be shipped from U.S. to Australia. And Australia “may” restrict import given draconian bans on stuff.
IIRC the list of stuff banned includes even brass catchers and simple items like extended mag releases. I know someone posted it here once.
So EO might not ship because it is illegal. Others might ship because a few hundred $ profit is worth the risk.
But this is speculation on my part. Take it for what it is, but beware what you order from US and make sure it’s exportable/importable!
Cheers!

There may be a number of reasons this company is no bueno. This isn't one of them. Please educate us as to how much the owner of this business is allowed to charge.The owner thinks he's justified in taking as much money from you as possible,

You have choices: pay his price, buy somewhere else, or do without.

Wow. It is so easy to point shade and believe what you read. FYI, we are dealing DIRECT with Dan Ross, and we are the only shop to stock his goods. And, Dan is alive and well, and did not shut down in 2018. You just need to know how to get to him. For example, he made a special run of M40 trigger guards, and we have dozens and dozens in stock, ready to ship. Just like we have dozens of other M40A3 and A5 parts in stock, ready to ship.Fuck no! Stay far away! I've got plenty of personal stories from first-hand experience, stories from close friends, and you can find a ton of other stories on ar15.com and the CRA group on Facebook. A few years ago the owner of CCC went to the CRA Facebook group to try and explain why it's fine for him to rip people off on pricing. CCC got absolutely destroyed over that, and many, many ridiculous memes making fun of CCC were made. I might still have some of the memes. The owner of CCC was even talking about how a SOCOM barrel in your asshole is worse than a longer barrel, because "it's the girth that gets ya," or whatever the fuck he wrote. No idea why that was even brought up, but that whole event was unbelievable.
The owner thinks he's justified in taking as much money from you as possible, IF they even have anything in stock! CCC is a big fan of listing shit on their site that they NEVER had in stock, ever, will take payment for the item, not ship anything until the buyer complains months later, then final returns the money. They've done so much other shit than that too, I'm not going to spend the next 2 hours typing up everything that's happened to myself and a dozen+ close friends. PTG is more trustworthy and reliable than CCC. For some reason, Sniper's Hide is probably the only forum I've ever seen where CCC has a decent reputation. Do you own research on other forums and other social media pages. Ask them for their opinions and stories. They'll tell you the same thing. Stay far away, you've been warned.
Just did a quick Google search for "Charlie Custom Clones review" and all sorts of terrible shit pops up. Here's just a few of the links for people who are too lazy to go do their own research:

From post #9 in the M14 Forum thread directly above:
"For people looking at the DD Ross stuff, for example, they stole the listing pic from someone off Snipers Hide and are using that as their stock photo. DD Ross hasn't updated their site since 2018 and I believe they have closed their doors."
"All they did was photoshop away the cardboard background on the original ad."
