    Lightbulb Beta-Test the new AR-15 Part Finder

    When we started TNA we wanted to make it as easy as possible to find those little spare bits and springs for your gun.

    To that end we are slowly rolling out a series of clickable exploded diagrams.

    So far we have Part Finders for four assemblies of the AR-15, the Buttstock, Bolt Carrier Group, Charging Handle, and Lower Receiver. (Barrel and handguards coming soon)

    Example screencap at the bottom of this post. Basically you click any part in the diagram and you'll see any versions of that part that we sell.

    If you know what the part looks like, but maybe you don't know the part name, you can click the picture of the part. If you know the part name but you don't know what it looks like, you can click the name in the parts list. It all works the same way.

    For example let's say you're looking for a different Receiver End Plate, you go to the Buttstock page and click the End Plate, and you'll see this list of all End Plate choices we have available.

    We'd love your feedback on the concept and any technical issues that arise for you.

    Excellent work folks!

    minor thing, the lower page doesn't highlight the part like the other pages do. It brings up the part when you click on it but doesn't highlight

    Very slick. Two short suggestions:

    Allow the user to add parts to their shopping cart directly on the exploded parts diagram page. I.E. allow the user to look at the exploded parts diagram (very well executed by the way), and then just click on 'one of these, and one of these, and two of these', etc.

    Also perhaps allow a button to select the entire assembly.

    The pages work as is, but the above suggestions might reduce the number of clicks and having to go to another page just to add a part and then back to the diagram to look for another part.

    I like how the page offers alternates like the charging handle latches.

    We have a few more incoming. The product is hidden from the site right now since our export was taking forever and we don't want to frustrate our customers with too much out of stock stuff.

    I'll let you know when they arrive

    Best,

    Yes that is an annoying quirk I'm working to debug

    Interesting, I did not think of that. If you're adding multiple parts to cart that could be annoying to have to go back and add them one at a time.
    Thanks for the compliment, that Lower Receiver was tricky and a lot of work to explode
