Hello. I am not normally an AR-15 fan, and in fact, have never owned one in my life. They just seemed so generic and boring to me.
But, a recent project from Ian McCollum and Karl Kasarda have yielded a very neat gun called the What Would Stoner Do. They have an entire series about it on YouTube. Basically, it is a civilian-oriented featherweight AR designed to not sacrifice strength, durability, or reliability in achieving its goals.
These design philosophies mirror Gene Stoner’s initial developments ideas and implementations for his rifles before government insistence made them bulkier and heavier than need be etc.
The naked rifle weighs 4 lbs 15 oz and is extremely neat. The design choices were made not for military fighting WW3, but civilians which I think is fundamentally cool.
I ordered a complete upper and lower for the gun as well as some goodies to go one if, but not many. All up the rifle should weigh approx. 5 lbs 10 oz with red dot, sling, and flashlight. Seems awfully light doesn’t it? Stay tuned. I did a ton of research.
What are your thoughts on the WWSD?
