Partner Brands and Affiliates
How We Work With Other Companies
Para Bellum works with a number of companies across the firearms industry. These relationships fall into four primary categories: OEM/contract manufacturing, dealership relationships, affiliate partnerships, and sponsorships.
Each relationship serves a different purpose, but they all share the same guiding principle: we only work with companies whose products and practices meet our standards for quality, reliability, and customer service.
OEM/Contract Manufacturing
OEM/contract manufacturer partners are the companies that manufacture Para Bellum–branded products.
These partners are selected based on their manufacturing capability, process control, and quality management systems. We prioritize companies that operate with world-class quality standards and consistent production processes, because the reliability of our rifles ultimately depends on the reliability of the components used to build them.
OEM/contract manufacturer partners are not simply vendors—they are true manufacturing partners who help bring our designs to life.
Dealership Relationships
Para Bellum maintains dealer relationships with many of the component manufacturers whose products we recommend and install in our firearms.
These relationships allow us to maintain a reliable supply of proven components while offering our customers a wide range of configuration options.
Importantly, our dealer relationships do not determine what products we use.
We do not select components because we can obtain a dealer relationship. Instead, we establish dealer relationships with companies whose products have already proven themselves through our own evaluation and long-term use.
If a component does not meet our standards—or does not perform well in our rifles—we simply do not offer it.
Para Bellum is an authorized dealer for the following manufacturers:
- Ballistic Advantage
- Battle Arms Development
- Criterion Barrels
- ERGO Grips
- Geissele Automatics
- HIPERFIRE
- JP Enterprises
- KAK Industry
- Precision Armament
- Radian Weapons
- Riflespeed
- Sprinco/Tactical Springs
- Superlative Arms
- Timney Triggers
We partner with these companies because:
- Many of these products have been used in our personal rifles for years—some for more than 15 years.
- They consistently offer a strong balance of performance, quality, and value.
- They have demonstrated the ability to reliably meet customer demand, which allows us to maintain consistent availability for our customers.
While we proudly feature products from these companies in our rifles, we also maintain other dealer relationships. If you are looking for a specific product from a manufacturer not listed here, feel free to reach out—if we don’t have a dealer relationship, we can often source it through our distributor network.
Affiliate Partnerships
Not everyone who visits our site will purchase one of our rifles or build kits—and that is perfectly fine.
Our goal is not to dominate the marketplace. Our goal is to help ensure that more people have access to reliable, high-quality firearms.
The do-it-yourself builder is technically a competitor to us—but they are also an important part of the broader firearms community that we care deeply about. Because of that, we actively support the DIY community by sharing technical information, build guidance, and equipment recommendations.
When we recommend a component, tool, or training resource, we sometimes use affiliate links. If you choose to purchase through these links, we may receive a small commission.
Important points about affiliate links:
- They do not increase your purchase price.
- In many cases, we can secure discount codes or special offers for our audience.
- They help support the testing, research, and educational content we produce.
If you find our work valuable, using these links is one way to help support the continued development of the site.
Para Bellum maintains affiliate relationships with the following retailers:
Between these retailers, nearly every tool, accessory, and component we recommend can be sourced easily and reliably.
Sponsorships
A sponsorship relationship typically involves a company paying an individual or organization to promote their products.
Para Bellum does not accept sponsorships.
We make this choice deliberately so that our evaluations, recommendations, and testing remain as independent and unbiased as possible.
