June 2020 Q&A - WWSD2020 Edition

Kyle G
Any updates on a tentative ship date?

Pistolsmith
Will there be an unfinished non-firearm (80%) version of the kp15 available at some point in the future?

M193 GoofBall
What kind of butt plate will the lowers come with and are there any plans to release other butt plates with different thicknesses, pitch angle, materials, etc. to allow for some degree of customization?

Molly
Will the KP-15 include compatibility with some form of ambi bolt-release by default or will that feature be 'machined'-in later for WWSD2020 models?
Sean S
I totally understand that only the WWSD2020 complete rifle from Brownells will be offered already configured for a PDQ bolt release. Is there anything about the new design that precludes busting out some mad Dremel skills and altering a stand alone lower to accept a PDQ lever?

Walter H
Are there any plans to make inserts for the storage area along the lines of the Magpul pistol grip inserts - batteries, spare parts, cleaning kits, cigar humidors, etc.?

Daniel C
Was a buffer retaining pin even bothered with?

Aaron H
Whenever you mention the polymer lower you went with, there will often be mentions of “AR-15 lowers converted to polymers”. What exactly does this mean, and what’s the difference between your lower and those?

David S
Are there any plans for a variant that would allow for the grip to be changed out, (so individuals could customize the grip angle to their preferences,) or would you consider that to be unfeasible?

Rumblestrip
Which buffer system is this set up for, rifle, carbine? Could I run an A5 system?

John W
Are there any chemical incompatibilities we should know about? Eg Spray paint, acetone, gunscrubber. Any special care required like keep it oiled or something?

Andy W
What is the expected longevity of your tooling and molds?

Anthony O
Polymer framed handguns have been the way of the future for service handguns since Glock proved the validity of the concept in the early 80s. With a notable exception..
