It might be helpful for me to briefly give some context about my larping goals. As a 52-year-old man, with little larping/airsoft experience, who enjoys gadgets and guns, airsoft was an easy hobby to get into.
I know, it’s 2024 and the modern lever action craze was so two years ago but after drooling over AR platforms for the better part of those past two years, I started to crave something different. And although I am definitely late to the game, it’s never too late; here’s my Henry Repeating Arms Big Boy Model X in .357 magnum.
The build of the bike was really what this post was supposed to be all about but as I began to share the story of this build with you, I realized that the build was probably the smoothest part of the process.
There’s really not much to it and there’s not a ton of technique involved but I thought I would at least give a few tid-bits of the process to hopefully inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and personalize their rifle, be it real steal or airsoft, and make it your own.
I have to say, it’s been a bit of a rocky start and I’ve had to reach out to PolarStar numerous times to get some help to work out the kinks but the end result is awesome.
Had the opportunity to fly out with my bike and spend a couple days on Purgatory trails with my buddy Greg. This is one of the blue routes down the mountain that starts with 7th Heaven, then onto Diggler, then Last Chance, and finishing up with the Jump Line.

Pirate is one of the easier black runs to start with but it doesn’t run all the way down the mountain (unfortunately I forgot to start the GoPro at the top). Once Pirate runs out, we shift over to a blue trail down the rest of the way that starts with Divinity, then Last Chance, and finishes up with the Jump Line.
Second time at Mountain Creek in Veron, NJ. Great day on the trails with a few buddies. This was my last run of the day with my buddy Jason.
Enter the Chinese carbon MTB frame world. Ugh, where to begin? So much negativity on the internet with the Chinese carbon frames. I really wonder how many of the negative reviews come from actual users of the products.
