This entry details the development and challenges of the WWSD (What Would Stoner Do) rifle project, spearheaded by Karl Kasarda and InRangeTV. It covers the historical context of AR-15 design, the innovation in monolithic polymer lower receivers (from CAV-15 to KP-15), and the complex legal disputes that arose with GWACS Armory. The content highlights the technical aspects of creating a lightweight carbine and the business/legal hurdles faced by the project.

This guide details the installation and configuration of the KE Arms KP-15 monolithic polymer lower receiver, focusing on the new OD Green variant. It covers selecting fire control groups, installing ambidextrous controls, attaching upper receivers, and choosing buffer systems. The video highlights the technical considerations of polymer color variations and a limited production run of the OD Green model.

This guide details the evolution and assembly concepts of monolithic polymer AR-15/M16 lower receivers, from Colt's early experiments to modern designs like the KE Arms KP-15. It highlights key design changes, manufacturing techniques like linear vibration welding, and improvements in strength and ergonomics.
