Beta

Build mission-first AR configurations with confidence.

Our assistant pairs your intent with a vetted catalog and reference guides. Understand the tradeoffs before you buy parts, compare configurations, and document what actually works in the field.

Snapshot

  • • 5.56 platforms mapped to capability scores and compatibility tags.
  • • Assistant responses cite curated knowledge and real-time retrieval.
  • • Guides capture ballistics and ergonomics in quick visual formats.
Designed for builders who balance home defense, duty use, and training with reliable data—not hype.

Where we're headed

We're treating this configurator like a living playbook. Here's what's on deck as we add more data, capability modeling, and collaboration tools.

Range day validation

Log chronograph data and felt recoil notes to tune the builder’s recommendations with empirical feedback.

Library of guides

Expand references to gas system tuning, optic height over bore, suppressor pairing, and caliber crossovers.

Team scenarios

Capture multi-role configurations for training groups, comparing overlaps and capability coverage across builds.
