Since we have been getting questions about who is involved and what our plans are, I figured I would share both!
The goal for GUNSTRUCTION is to add every part from every manufacturer. What you need to understand it that this process takes time. Simply put, we engage manufacturers and request their permission to use their name/parts in the builder. We then begin adding products (creating models, entering data, testing) into the engine. This all takes time and we are reaching out to companies slowly to ensure we can dedicate time to creating several models from each company for the initial launch. For the launch our goal is to have several hundred parts and as much variation as we can in each part category. We are not trying to have every category have 100 choices, but a nice mix of things from each. Post launch we will continue this process of engaging companies and adding products and are looking to do either weekly or bi-weekly updates. With this in mind, here are the companies we are including in launch thus far. This list will be updated with new companies as they sign up! ARFCOM Troy STAG Arms Trijicon Armalite LaRue Magpul J&T / DoubleStar / ACE CMMG Spikes Geissele Elzetta Lancer Blackforge Vortex Aimpoint Timney GEMTECH Del-Ton Daniel Defense DuraCoat GG&G FAB Defense TNVC SureFire Smith Enterprises - NEW Midwest Industries - NEW Phase5 - NEW CMT - NEW Umbrella Corp - NEW X Products - NEW VLTOR - NEW Updated October 8th |

Aimpoint and Timney were finalized this week and we are thrilled to have them involved!

Any plans to try and get Midwest Industries or BCM on board? Of Course! We want everyone involved. We have only contacted a few companies at this time because of how involved the process is. As we work our way through models, we will reach out to new companies to ensure we have a queue ready to be worked on. |

Looking good guys, can't wait to the see the final list and product.

Where's Tapco, Promag, and UTG?
Though it would be cool to get DD and KAC in on this for clone builds. |
|
Quoted:
KAC and Noveske? +1 Also VLTOR, MI, Rainier, FAB, JP, Seekins, WOA, New Frontier, maybe ARP |
|
Quoted:
I don't think anyone would be too upset if you left UTG out.

Red Jacket? Nevermind, their stuff has been done before.
How bout Sun Devil? |

We have approached a few of those companies already and the rest are on the list. Some companies have not responded, but since we are slammed with things to work on already, we haven't pushed too hard yet.

what about panther DPMS i know they are not the best brand out there but ive noting but good come from mine
|

I recommend contacting Apex Handguards. Many of the quad rails more or less look the same. Apex's are way different. |

Proud to add to the list the following companies:
Del-Ton Daniel Defense DuraCoat (Paint feature sponsor!) We will continue to reach out to more companies and announce them as soon as they are confirmed! The companies above will all be represented with parts in the builder for the closed and open betas! We just held out on announcing them. |

Gotta have BCM, Noveske, and EOTech. Also need to have the big names in suppressors.

Hi, I would love to be in this Beta. I am an artist in the 3D world. I think my knowledge would be beneficial for this beta.

Howdy all,
Who do I need to talk to about the details on jumping on this manufacture train? I work for Anarchy Arms, just want to get some details about this. Thanks |

Would it be safe to assume that companies who are smaller or lesser known, or who only make a few AR products, won't be added for a good while? I mainly ask because I have a Choate E2 stock on my dmr and it'd be cool to see what it looks like on other setups. Also kind of curious to see what the Fab Defense PTK looks like on a normal AR. Google images just gives me a bunch of pics of it on shotguns, AKs, and the same tacky over-accessorized AR.

FAB is in, and the PTK is already running in the program :) We eventually want to have everyone, large and small to be in GUNSTRUCTION. We're concentrating on large to begin with, but expect to see others in the coming months.

Awesome! As soon as the open beta is out, that's gonna be my first project.
Btw, you guys rock for doing this. About time someone put some REAL effort into making a decent gun builder program. Quoted:
