November is already over and you know that means… Gunstruction just released the November 2015 User’s Choice Build. If are unfamiliar with the concept, this is a build using the most popular virtual AR-15 parts from each category at Gunstruction. They are able to keep track of which parts are used most frequently and then combine them into a single virtual rifle.

There are a few interesting things to note in this build. First, EOTech makes an appearance in spite of their very public issues over the last few months. Second, a Magpul grip in some form has graced every single one of these user’s choice builds.

I always look forward to the end of the month when Gunstruction releases their User’s Choice Builds. These builds are a conglomeration of the most popular part from each of their virtual AR building categories for the previous month. They end up reflecting a lot of the current trends and give an insight into what people are building offline as well.

As you can see, the AR308 crowd leans heavily toward the precision side of the house while the AR-15 crowd seems to tend toward a lighter weight, general-purpose build.

Gunstruction has lowered the price on their AR308 Upgrade for their mobile apps. You can upgrade for $.99 from now until Monday.

Gunstruction is a powerful tool for building virtual AR-15s and AR308s but you only get to see the front end. The back end has some pretty powerful tricks up its sleeve too like the ability to use analytics to determine the most used parts during certain periods. The folks at Gunstruction have been releasing an image of a virtual AR-15 that is a composite of all the most popular from each category during each month. The result is not only a good looking AR-15 but a fascinating window into trends in the market.
