We want to really promote signal launchers for this sale, and so we’ll be doing a 17.76% discount on all signal launchers.
More excitingly, we recently released a Launcher Build Class to teach you everything you need to know about building launchers and loading your own rounds. We’ve discounted that by 50% for this sale!
Aside from these doorbusters, every other kit on our site is also discounted for this sale. The 250th anniversary only comes once, so we’re going all out!
Sale Highlights:
M1337 Complete Kit - we’re restocking these for the sale, and they will be our July 4th Daily Deal. This will be the absolute best price for a M1337 Gatling Gun ever - don’t miss it!

TP Lever Action AR: we’ve got all our other kits marked down for the sale too. The TP is perhaps the most popular kit of 2026, and they always sell out fast - grab one while stocks last!
FTW Arms:
20% Off Sitewide w/ Code FREEDOM250
The boys at FTW Arms - formerly Print-A-22 - have, in collaboration with major 3D suppressor devs, engineered a suppressor designed from the ground up to be printed in PPA-CF, and are selling it for a highly affordable price.
They’re also continuing to support several of the .22LR kits from their Print-A-22 days. They were and remain the go-to supplier of .22LR kits!
For Independence Day they are offering a 20% discount sitewide, likely the best deal you’ll ever get on one of their suppressors. Use code FREEDOM250 and grab one while they last!
Sale Highlights:
FTW OG Suppressor: FTW’s premiere product is their printed .22LR suppressor, designed in collaboration with the FTN’s developer and utilizing a hybrid reinforced design. This suppressor offers commercial performance at a fraction of the price.
Yippee Ki Yay Hardware Kit: one of the most interesting and popular .22LR kits available, the Yippee Ki Yay is a fully DIY .22LR MP5 by Kaewon. FTW’s kit provides everything you need to build out the design, and several different configurations are available!
.22LR Chambered Barrel Liner: virtually every fully DIY .22LR design uses a .22LR barrel liner, which requires cutting and chambering. It’s easy to mess this up - let FTW do it for you! They offer chambered liners in a wide variety of lengths for any design.
Middleton Made:
Mac n’ Cheese v3.1 Launch
Code “GunCADSavesBucks” to Save 15% Off Sitewide*!
Middleton Made continues to be one of the finest gentlemen in 3D2A, pushing the bar with the highest quality designs for popular platforms such as the Mac and the TX22.
This year for the 4th he’s doing a 15% off sale on all first party products! The sale is live now, use code GunCADSavesBucks to get the discount. This is a special code just for Digest readers - thanks Middleton!
* Code will exclude partnered items
Sale Highlights:
Mac 11 SLS Double Feed Jigs: dual-feed Macs are all becoming the next big thing - several platforms, including the upcoming Mac n’ Cheese v3.1, will support dual feed mags like MP5 and Evo. Middleton developed some jigs to help you cut your OEM upper to fit these mags, and he’s offering high quality SLS prints of those jigs. Did you know they allow you to cut your upper to support the Yeet Sheet as well?
TX22 “Jelly Filling” Slide Insert: the TX22 is easily FRT’d and is chambered in super cheap .22LR, making it a highly popular handgun for magdumps. But too many magdumps will wear down certain parts of your gun. What do? These “Jelly Filling” inserts can be installed to hold replaceable metal wear surfaces. Just drop it in and run!
D2 Push Button Super Safety Kit: you know what this is. It’s made in D2 tool steel, which will keep you magdumping for some time.
Riptide Rails:
15% Off July 3rd - 5th
Riptide Rails is my favorite rail vendor, and they do far more than just FMDA rails. They also have a host of machined Nylaug parts, and are increasingly supporting Mac parts too. For Independence Day they are doing a sitewide sale, 15% off from July 3rd - 5th. Grab some goods while supplies last!
Sale Highlights:
DD17.2 Rail Kit w/ Locking Block: obviously I’m going to feature Riptide’s primary product! I chose the 17.2, but of course he offers 19.2, 26.2, 43.1 and all other FMDA rails you might want. All are on sale!
Nylaug Machined Picatinny Rail: this is a machined pic rail that you can install on your Nylaug’s printed receiver! This opens up a world of upgrades for your Nylaug, including Riptide’s own CQC Handguard!
Riptide Charging Handle: a custom-machined charging handle usable on both the Triton-9 and the Ark. The original handles for the Ark were weird commercial items that aren’t really available any longer - Riptide came through with his replacement!
Parts Dispensed
17.76% Off Sitewide
The boys at Parts Dispensed have long sold a wide variety of parts kits great and small. They continue to support many of the older designs - never forget your heritage! They’ve got a familiar discount, 17.76% off sitewide - applied automatically at cart! Go snag something and get building.
Sale Highlights:
Triton-9 Parts Kit: the Triton-9 might be thought of as a commercial FGC-9, taking the form factor and aesthetics while replacing the troublesome bolt with a commercial equivalent. PD’s kit will give you all the standard hardware at an affordable price!
Marsupial Mk18 Parts Kit: I believe the Marsupial was the first DIY bufferless AR upper, utilizing a custom sled design that rides on top of the bolt. Parts Dispensed’s kit provides the SCS parts you’ll need for that sled and all other parts as well.
Orca Complete Build Kit: the Orca is remains the classic example of a mostly-DIY AR-15. Grab this complete kit and build your own!
Pembleton and Sons
25% Off Sitewide
If Thompson was a gonzo journalist, Pembie is a gonzo guncad dev. He’s responsible for several of the most wild reset triggers out there, and he continues to defy the haters by refusing to quit. What a guy! For the 4th he’s doing 25% off sitewide, by far the deepest discount of the lot.
Sale Highlights:
PEMBIE-5: his most recent release, the PEMBIE-5 is a drop-in cassette for your OEM MP5 lower that allows the installation of a super safety. No need to print your own lower, now you can just drop and go!
GSPOT Active Reset Trigger: I hear people have trouble finding this. Couldn’t be me, but if you have, here it is! Make your Glock shoot fast with this CNC’d trigger kit.
Dillinger 1911/2011 FRT: we’re FRTing guns that I never thought possible. When I saw this on the front page I knew I had to feature it. Buy this and rip through 7+1 with ease!
