Quite a lot.

This list has things that got into production during the Jihad and before 3100, omitting OmniMechs (because newer configs can be installed in out of production chassis), in service of the Capellan Confederation:
http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Filter?Name=&HasBV=false&MinTons=&MaxTons=&MinBV=&MaxBV=&MinIntro=&MaxIntro=&MinCost=&MaxCost=&HasRole=&HasBFAbility=&MinPV=&MaxPV=&Role=None+Selected&Types=18&BookAuto=&FactionAuto=&Factions=5&SubTypes=29&Eras=14&Eras=15

Naturally there are probably many that predate the Jihad and are still production, but i didn't check previous eras because i'm not sure which ones are out of production but still in service. And because there are so many 'Mechs...

The list does have some 'Mechs that aren't produced in the CapCon though, such as:
Crimson Hawk (Clan)
Koshi (standard) (Clan)
Cadaver (Taurian)
Hermes II (FWL)
Violator (FWL)
Maybe others?
But for most part the list's full CapCon.

Thanks, I'm trying to be relatively accurate and this helps immensely.

Thanks again

I'm 100% certain I missed things (or data isn't available) but I am pretty confident on what I have. Data pulled from the 3079-based objectives pdf and added to from various places like TRO: 3085. I was not brave enough to tackle variants so you'll have to make inferences there.

I'd be careful of the MUL data. All that's saying is "This design is in production (somewhere) during the Jihad/Republic Era, and is available to the CapCon (somehow)." It isn't a list of things produced in the CapCon.

For instance, the WSP-7MAF is produced in the Magistracy, and is available to the CapCon through trade, but not produced in the CapCon.

It is mostly Capellan production for sure though.
If nothing else, it is a good starting point, just cross-reference things with TROs and maybe those Objectives PDF series.

And Cappies are easy, since they favor Chinese names or otherwise have names that are strongly associated with them in 31st century (eg the Pillager, produced in St. Ives Compact, sold to the FedCom but after absorption of St. Ives Compact, it became a Cappie exclusive).

I wouldn't bet any money on it personally. It is only if it is available and was produced by someone.

i know im late... and i know its much much later... but didnt the fluff of the modernized victor chassis (cant remember the mechs name from the top of my head, sorry) in the 3145 TRO say that the capellans didnt have homegrown/homebuilt assault mech production anymore? thats why they took the old victor, modernized it, slapped a new name and registration numbers on the mashine and voila... new assault mech production?

Lu Wei Bing was the name. sarna gives the fluff texts as follows:

"First produced in 3110, the Lu Wei Bing was produced as a replacement production design after the Confederation lost its Shengli Arms Assault 'Mech factories to the Federated Suns during the Victoria War."

im pretty sure that the fluff text in 3145 tells more about this. but i dont have the book!

I want to say they lost the Yu Huang during the Jihad, they lost access to Styk's Tao MechWorks as well- I think it went Republic IIRC.  But AFAIK they still had Emperor & Pillager production . . . and probably Sunder since that design spread everywhere.

The Lu Wei Bing was intended to replace the Yu Huang.  That was the only "lack" that was addressed in the entry.
