Moderators, we are looking for constructive feedback only and our site is not accepting orders or selling anything at this time. I apologize if this is not a good place for this and please move or delete if this is out of line. Appreciate it.
A friend and I had the idea to combine a parts search engine with the ability to order an upper from user-selected parts. We are in the beta phase and are looking for feedback and critique and would appreciate both. In the heavily saturated market of AR manufacturers and "custom AR builders" we are trying to provide something helpful with no fluff. Apogee Rifleworks
I can see our site being used in a few ways. The first would be a quick and dirty way to find "x" part in stock and at the lowest price. From our site, you follow the link and buy it direct from that supplier. Cool. (side note, Radian Raptors have the most consistent pricing across suppliers of any part we have tracked lol)
Parts Finder
The second would be to catalog several of your build ideas and save them to "Build Lists". The price for each complete upper would be tracked in real time and if there was a sudden drop in price or change in availability, you might get an email or be able to see it in your account. This has been a programming nightmare, but we are getting close and if you tend to build more ARs than you should, this feature should be helpful with no cost to you. **Must create a free account to use this feature.
The third would be you want a specific upper and you want it built correctly and test-fired so you have an idea of accuracy potential and rudimentary velocities for three common rounds. Why not build it yourself? Well, if you have the tools and know-how then you most likely will and in that case, use the parts finder feature and rock and roll. This service is for those who want something built correctly and test-fired. You won't end up stuck with a barrel that just won't shoot or having to watch your "friend" bang on your brand new handguard with a hammer and Vice-grip because he doesn't have the right tools. Assembly and testing/velocities
Let me know what you think good, bad, or indifferent. Our goal is to provide a service that I wish had been available when I was building countless uppers for myself or helping a buddy compile all the parts they need for a build. Appreciate it and God bless.
