Author Topic: Pictures of my new CAS gun cart (Read 3472 times)

Just finished my new CAS gun cart. This is the contraption that you use to transport your long gun and shotgun as well as ammo and all the rest of the "stuff" from stage to stage.
Used some nice 3/4x12x36 inch sanded shelving that Home Depot sells for less than $5 each. It's glued up from thinner pieces but does a great job for projects like this. Took about a month, working on and off, to finish it.
As the pictures show it can break down into several parts for ease of transport and the large wheels make it easy to travel over rough ground. Looking forward to giving it a "test run" so to speak.

Nice!

Is that what a well heeled gunslinger of old used to carry his stuff around in the wild west? :-D

Chucky, editor of Shoot! Magazine, just asked me to do an article so I'll be drawing some plans up. Be glad to share as soon as I get them down on paper

Do we have any idea yet as to when this article might appear?

Cheyenne Ranger · « **Reply #8 on:** January 17, 2003, 03:34:46 AM »

They said a few issues from now. I'll try to get some of the basic measurements to you.

I've lusted in my heart for a cart like that for a long time. Looks mighty good.

While I'm definately intrested in your cart, I wanna see the article! Be sure to let us know when it's out!!

That really is nicely done. I got one in a trade and it's just great but this is handy enough I may make one of these. Mines all one piece, holds six and is kind of heavy. Parking on hill (hills in TN?) it does get exciting lifting it into the truck. I like the cork. Great idea.

Looks like you did a bang up job on that cart. Looking forward to the article.

This was in another post but thought I would also put it here:

Here is the URL for directions on building my gun cart: http://users2.ev1.net/~dwel/rm%20weeky_scores.htm

While not drawings and plans as such they are step by step (sorta). Some pictures at the top also might help. If you have specific questions let me know. I will take some more pics in future and post them too.

About the only change was to move the handle up a bit so it is easier to tilt back. So far working out quite well.

Sure is purdy.....

Old Cane · « **Reply #17 on:** February 01, 2003, 07:41:03 AM »

Is that the guy that did the Pony cart? He does a good job. Prices are good too.

Cheyenne Ranger · « **Reply #18 on:** February 01, 2003, 09:42:30 AM »

That was one of the carts I looked at when I designed mine. Got way too much woodworking stuff in the barn to buy a store-bought one. Mrs. kinda likes the looks of mine, too.

Greybeard · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2003, 09:50:29 AM »

Old Cane, yup I think he also makes one called the Pony that is priced under $100 if I'm not mistaken.

Yup, I make the Pony. The pictures of the Missouri Mule you see in Graybeard's post is made from Poplar. I had to raise the prices a bit today due to inflation of materials costs, but the Pony is still under $100.

Graybeard: I got busy today and didn't get a chance to call you. I'll get a hold of you Monday to work out a deal.

I remember we talked nearly a year ago, Jimmy. I wound up taking one made from plywood in trade on a shotgun or I was going to get a Mule from you when they came out. Glad you're still at it. Heard nothing but good about your work.

Greybeard · « **Reply #22 on:** February 02, 2003, 10:16:09 AM »

That works for me Jimmy. Glad you told me what that wood is on the one is the photos. That's some mighty purdy wood. And just think that's the lower cost option as far as woods go.

Hey Old Cane ! Give me a call when that plywood wears out :grin:

Old Cane · « **Reply #24 on:** February 03, 2003, 01:54:01 AM »

Will do. Thanks, Jimmy. Are you a sponsor for the site now?

Greybeard · « **Reply #25 on:** February 03, 2003, 05:58:01 AM »

Old Cane. Not yet but that will most likely happen today when Jimmy calls me. As soon as it is official I'll announce it here. Still waiting on the phone call right now.
