Gear Guy is a real-time 3D firearm configurator and armory for iPhone. Swap barrels, rails, optics, and suppressors on a photoreal model — see exactly what your build looks like, what it weighs, and what it costs before a single part ships.
Captured from the app · real-time configurator
This isn’t a parts list with thumbnails. The Gun Bench renders your exact configuration — barrel length, gas system, handguard, optic chain, piggyback dots, suppressor — as one photoreal build you can rotate, inspect, and save.
Piggyback dots seat on the actual mount geometry. Suppressors track the real muzzle when you shorten the barrel. Rails reject barrels they’d overhang. The configurator knows how this hardware actually fits together — because every placement is measured from the 3D mesh, not eyeballed.
Change a barrel from 16″ to 10.5″ and watch the gas block move, the handguard adapt, and the build’s legal status update in the same second.
An uncut, real-time configuration session — barrel swaps, rails, optic chains, and a save to the Armory. No edits, no speed-ups.
Every firearm, every part, every optic — owned or on the wishlist. The Armory tracks what’s yours, which builds it lives in, and what your collection is worth. Built for range day, insurance documentation, and estate planning alike.
Mark a part as owned and every build knows. Your Geissele rail shows up in one build, your Lancer mags in three — the ledger tracks the crossover so a build’s “parts to buy” list only shows what you actually still need.
Saved builds carry a running owned-count, so “2 of 19 owned” becomes a shopping plan, not a guess.
Gear Guy flags what other apps ignore. Every part shows whether it ships to your door or requires an FFL transfer. Cross into NFA territory — a sub-16″ barrel with a stock, a suppressor — and the build flags it with plain-English education, not a lecture. Informational, never blocking.
Uppers, barrels, optics, rails, and accessories ship straight to you — the app says so in green. Serialized lower receivers require a licensed-dealer transfer — the app says that too, in red, before you plan a build around it.
Configure a short-barreled rifle or add a suppressor and Gear Guy explains what the National Firearms Act requires today — including the $0 federal tax as of January 1, 2026, and the registration that still applies.
General information, not legal advice. Federal rules only — always verify current ATF guidance.

Your collection is nobody’s business. Gear Guy is built so that it isn’t even ours.
There is no sign-up, no login, and no server-side record of who you are or what you own.
Your builds, inventory, and photos live on your iPhone. Nothing syncs anywhere unless you export it yourself.
AES-256 encryption with keys held in your device’s Secure Enclave. Serial numbers are masked by default — free, forever, never paywalled.
No-hype breakdowns on optics, suppressors, home-defense builds, and keeping your collection documented — written for owners, not algorithms.
Form 4 to first shots — the NFA process, trusts vs. individual, suppressor types, and host-gun considerations.
