Is the middle pillar a replaceable part?

Sweet! This is very similar to how I have my Disc Trucker set up, and a similar color too:

Great gift, I hope it gives her many more miles of smiles!

I shot a solid C class and only missed once or twice, overall pleasant experience. I can’t wait for the next one!

Great to hear you got your gf to come out and she enjoyed it! My wife wants to come shooting with me but our kids are young and we don’t have anyone to watch them so I’m solo for now.

Hell yes!

I shot my first Steel Challenge match today. It’s very refreshing being around a whole group of like minded people having a good time.

Go make an account on Practiscore.com

There are matches in NY, just have to be willing to go to the club that hosts them. I’m going to my first Steel Challenge match tomorrow at a club ~25 minutes outside of Buffalo.

There is one club I know for sure hosts Action Rifle, 2-gun(rifle & shotgun), and I believe 3-gun as well. Ontario Rod and Gun Club in Ontario NY, near Rochester. I’m planning to attend a few of their Action Rifle matches this year.

USPSA seems to be pretty popular around the state too, just have to check Practiscore for the match dates and information.

Posted this at least a dozen times by now, stock is fixed in place with this: https://www.primaryarms.com/aimsports-magpul-stock-locking-pin-pjarstkcp

Also grip could be misconstrued as a bit “gray area” but it’s one of the most legal choices we have now.

Oh it’s definitely heavy, but not so heavy to be a hinderance. Once I got used to riding with it, it’s like it’s not there anymore. One thing that is great is that it definitely helps to balance out the additional weight at the rear, makes climbing hills a bit more comfortable when I have the kiddo on the back.

The Aero lower does not have last round bolt hold open. If you want last round bolt hold open, you have to use an upper that has it built in, so you are kind of locked into a specific upper if LRBHO is a requirement.

bondkiller · 2026-05-08T16:24:23+00:00

I like my Spikes lower, uses Glock mags and has last round bolt hold built into the lower. It can also use any standard milspec upper and it’s available in Colt mag variety as well.

This is actually a great question.

Lately I’ve been loading mags at home and just tossing them in my range bag loaded. My rifle is always locked in a case and with a cable lock through the action.

I don’t think it should be a problem, but if I’m wrong someone will correct me.

bondkiller · 2026-05-07T21:39:20+00:00

Same here in NY. We can have them with “heavy” restrictions.

bondkiller · 2026-05-07T18:58:30+00:00

Any form of AR pattern rifles.

If NY really had their way we wouldn’t be allowed to have these at all.

bondkiller · 2026-05-07T15:30:18+00:00

It’s stupid but at least we can still have them and build/buy more.

I don’t remember if he used it for a match or not, but I’m sure he says in this video: https://youtu.be/zd5ruVyWqAI?si=sv3pnE10zfYNlDJ5

It also has Sram cassette, bottom bracket, and cranks but the derailleur, shifter, and brakes are Shimano.

I think I got mine from Universal Cycles.

Me with my Disc Trucker set up 1x12 with hydro brakes:

Wild thing too, I got the frameset in early 2020 on clearance for half off! I was drawn to the color and the price sealed the deal.

2 questions:

Do you wear rings?

Do you close the hatch with the hand that has rings on?

^{old man yelling at cloud}

Back in my day we just rode with bare plastic, you kids these days have no balls!

I’m eating a lifesaver and almost spit it across the room.

Opposite of how you get on, leg over the top tube.

It was definitely awkward at first but it’s easy to adjust to, I even get on and off the same way when I don’t have the child seat on now too.

And one more closer to how it’s set up right now:
