Rugged Gear Gun Cart - Flag Mount

[Chief Rick]

Anybody flying a flag from a Rugged Gear Gun Cart?

 

What are you using to hold the flagpole?

 

I have a 12"x18" flag on a 3/8" diameter dowel (approximately 30" long).

 

I'd like to be able to attach the flag when we pull the cart out at a match and take it off before we stow the cart - and not use something that inhibits folding the cart.

Do you carry a back-up rifle? Drop the dowel in the barrel.

thats a good idea , or mount a piece of PVC

I use an old flexible clip-on lamp with the lamp assembly and cord removed.

Slide the dowel in where the cord used to be.

Been doing this for years. Works great for me.

Make a tee out of pvc that fits behind the rifle rack. Cross piece keeps the upright from poking a hole i. The. bottom of the  cart. I use this setup for a ,large umbrella.

No backup on the cart - my wife would not appreciate me leaving her guns in the truck.

I like this - how, or do, you secure the top between the upper rifle mounts?

I used to use one like this for an umbrella holder.

Used a small bungee cord that held to top in place.

Take the PVC rack out when folding cart.

thats what i did , used a bungee so everything could be set aside when not needed , i had a cart i got from a friend who has since passed away , he welded/brazed in too the frame but there was no adjustability in that , there are a ;ot of ways it can be done of you set your mind to it , on my golf bag cart i simply bought an umbrella mount that was made for that purpose , it has all kinds of flexibility - check out bag boy accessories

Parachute cord,  bungee cord.

These would work for your flag holder.  Use this mount to attach to the cart and make up a tube to bolt on the mount for your flag.  Available in different sizes.
