This guide outlines the installation of a Faxon pencil barrel and carbon fiber free-float handguard for the WWSD 2017 rifle project. It covers barrel selection based on intended use, the importance of twist rate for projectile stabilization, and the benefits of free-floating handguards for accuracy. Expert insights from InRangeTV highlight modern metallurgy's role in improving thin barrel performance and carbon fiber's heat management properties.
This guide details the installation of the KE Arms fire control group for the WWSD 2017 project, focusing on its unique design features like a disconnector-less mechanism and hammer-down safety engagement. The video, presented with high technical authority, emphasizes improved debris resistance and ergonomic options with the ambidextrous safety. It's recommended for intermediate users familiar with AR-15 platforms.
This video introduces the WWSD (What Would Stoner Do?) project, a deep dive into rethinking the AR-15 platform for 2017. Experts Ian McCollum and Karl Kasarda apply Eugene Stoner's original design principles—emphasizing lightweight construction and reliability—using modern materials like polymers and carbon fiber. They critique unnecessary modern additions and showcase two builds: a lightweight carbine and a DMR, highlighting key components and design choices.
