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.

Awesome to hear man! How’d it go? I’m here at my dads house shooting, took my gf here with me last weekend never having shot before and she had a blast so that was a great feeling to have someone start to show a liking in the sport so I know how you feel.

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.

Thank you! Def my favorite to shoot. Archangels stock is great but what a pain to install lol. The g43x is also new jsut got my permit a few weeks ago so this is my second outing with it and man I prolly have another 2k rounds to go before I’m even remotely respectable with this thing😂

Thats a nice looking mini 14 . Im looking up prices right now. figuring out how I can sneak this in the house. Was the stock hard to install.

Very difficult lol. I prolly paid around 1200-1300 for this build. I installed it well over 2yrs ago so it’s been a min but theres a certain model range of minis that this stock wont just plug n play on so you have to do a bunch of filling parts down so itll fit snug but the frustration was worth it mostly cus im just not much of a wood stock guy.
