Lonewolf Custom Gear Ambush Platform

[onestringer]

Just curious on who the first person will be to order an ambush and cut it down like the picture shown. I would be very interested in know the weight and stability. Also I am hoping the come out with a water jetted platform, we could be looking platform in the 2 lb range.

What you have described here is almost identical to an alpha stand. I can't remember exactly who did it, but someone has cut one down and it is amazing, imo!

@elk yinzer has one...

I have a cut down assault. It is deep but not wide. The cut down Alpha is wider. I've seen them here but can't recall who. I think I am going to like the Ambush dimensions as they are. I'm not sure I would spring for a machined one to save a couple pounds. Maybe, maybe not. I'm not too much of a weight diva yet. May feel differently in another decade or two.

Check out “Ultimate Platform” thread, there’s pics of one I did. Also I believe @Murph4028 did one too. I think they are the perfect size.

@Erniepower was one of the first guys I remember that had the stones to cut up an alpha for a platform. They turned out great. He uses them for preset trees I think.

I believe you’re probably right that he was the first to cut up a stand, but all the pics I’ve seen of his are from the Assault stands, not the bigger Alpha.

Former lone wolf sit and climb platform. Had it in a tree multiple times now and love it. My buddy is mailing me his XOP air raid as we speak to be converted into a platform and he's letting me keep the seat to build my wife a flip down platform. Platform building has become an addiction of mine

Be interested in seeing what the XOP looks like. Have an air raid myself and have thought about it.

Prolly gonna look a little different because of the big shapes on the sides but we'll see. I won't know until it's right in front of me and I can take measurements

When you are cutting these are you going to a shop having it water cut or cnc’ed? Or are you just going at it with an angle grinder?

Angle grinder etc..that is how my cousin cut his two different times .

I made a platform from a LW assault seat and still have the platform.How do you get a bolt into the base to seat it against the post?

So is there a spot on this site that goes over the basics I have an assault and I am using a set of bullmam ring of steps I am using this year. I was going to convert my seat but **** cut the platform down is way easier. Has anyone seen an effect to structural integrity?
