Rolling Your Own Gun Cart

I'm poking around to get ideas for the design and contents.

I then found Yul Lose photo bucket page...
Wow..  50+ carts.

Kudos to you sir, outstanding craftsmanship.

If you are a wood butcher like me  buy a finished gun cart that you like 

I have two of the Rugged gear carts . One in Az and one in Ohio

I have been shooting since 1995 and was building carts for myself  then for the wife and I

Just guessing some where around 20 different ones , some ranges with sand or loose gravel present different challages .

1 Ask yourself how many guns , ammo and gear do you want to carry on the range?

2  How able are you to lift a cart into your vehicle ?

3. Will what you buy or build fit in your vehicle?

 

One of the kids jogging strollers with swivel front wheels is about the cheapest ways to start 

Look at garage sales , Craigslist and such 

Yul Lose guncarts are beautiful pieces of furniture that make you smile when pushing them around on the range.

wish I had bought one years ago ,still dreaming of finding one under the Christmas tree

Yul's carts are definitely a wonder to behold. :D

I have seen a couple in person and quite honestly I am very impressed with his talent.

 

If you build your own cart I would not go with a wagon type cart unless you can find a wagon with a really wide stance. They become cumbersome and top heavy once loaded up with all your gear.

BTW, I currently have a Rugged Gear cart that a SASS club in another state bought me. :wub:  It is so easy to maneuver and lift into my small SUV.

 

Dang, SASS people are the best!

You are one lucky lady Miss Allie.

I will keep my eyes open for somebody in our area that wants to sell off a simple one.
We have Rifle, SxS, 4 revolvers, and need space for accessories.

I will build a nice one.. mañana... when time permits.

Pard at our church is a woodworker - he decided to present me with his first gun cart build made from hickory. Looking forward to using it in it's first match this weekend.

 

I had 2 different carts I bought that we used by other folks prior (they worked great and an excellent option if on a budget or to get started in CAS)

Petey built his first gun cart from a couple of plow handles and some scrap pallets he found in the dumpster behind a store in my office complex.  Current cart fits in the van without breakdown but I really prefer that first cart.
