A guncart is never done

[Cheyenne Ranger]

I keep finding things to do on my gun carts.

The big 4 wheeler, based on a metal cart you find at Wally World and the like:  had to move around umbrella holders plus do a bit of PM.  And don't let me forget to check the tires before I leave--it's really hard pulling it with four flat ones.

The little two wheel is going to 4 wheel.  Found some 16" poly wheels with rubber tires and tubes for $15 each.  They are lighter than the current metal ones with hard (no bounce) tires.  I'm going to put 4 on so I don't have to look down the muzzles when I push it.  A bit of overkill and if I was starting from scratch I would figure out a way for just 3 but too late for the current one.

hello,

well I am attempting to get involved in CAS, and a new made friend
of mine has been playing cowboy for about ten years. I was in his garage
the other day and I point and say, "Whats That ?" He sez it's my shooting cart-your gonna need one...

So off on a new adventure for me. Any suggestions from experience.
His had slots for Lever action and Coach gun ; leather pouch hanging
for his empties ; tackle/tool box mounted for parts & pieces ; a drink
holder ; all on a aluminium golf bag cart (3 wheeler) that he modified
with wood.

Maybe I'll just get a lil-red-wagon and a blanket ...  :wink:

took a bit of looking but check this link:  http://www.kansascas.com/gun_carts.htm

You can click on the pages at the top to see what's out there.  

here is a place to look for plans:  http://www.kansascas.com/gun_cart_plans.htm

What most people do is start out with a little one,  build a monster and then return to the little one cause the big one is too hard to load and unload from the truck.

send me an email and I'll send you some pictures of my two--no plans just threw some wood together.  walterlaich@houston.rr.com

That's actually a good idea.  I built a gun rack that holds my long guns upright, and it's made to c-clamp into my kids' wagon.  I got the wood out of the scrap bin at Home Depot, and it took very little time to build.  I put a large trash bag over my guns when it's raining, and keep all of my extras in a platic bin with a lid, which also rides in the wagon.  It cost me about $3.  I am tempted to upgrade the wheels on my kids' wagon, since it has the narrow "street" wheels, rather than large inflated tires.

Not me!  I started off with a monster!  Didn't like the idea of looking down gun barrels even though I could see through them.  So I used one of thouse four wheel garden wagons from Lowes and it's got a large ammo box for the pistols(several sets), ammo, cleaning supplies, tool kit, ext. in one large box.  Cart breaks down so it's easy to load and unload, but it is a little tough to pull even with the tires fully inflated.  Maybe I need to grease the wheel bearings?
