The Last Gunslinger Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 Howdy! I'm looking into the M100 or M101 gun cart from gunstrollers.com. Does anyone have any experience with any of these carts? https://gunstrollers.com/shop/ols/products/m100---open-tray Thanks! - The Last Gunslinger
I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321 Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 I have no experience with these carts, but I surely like to know if others have experienced with it. Looks like it will work in our game. The price seems reasonable. I wonder if it can be folded for storage and/or transport to a match much similar to the Rugged gun carts. (see the video on their website). After watching the video, my comment is that after collapsing the cart, I'd wish that the handle could be collapsed to make it shorter and a little more compact so that it can be fitted in a small trunk. It seems that after collapsing the cart, it stands pretty tall and seems longer when laying it flat. I am sure it will fit in a pick-up truck, van or an SUV with seats folded forward but for a small car trunk, I have a doubt about it. Otherwise, it will still work in our game. It would be nice if the website will post the dimension when folded and unfolded. I am sure other pards will make some other comments after watching the video.
Dream Chaser, SASS #79316 Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 I have never seen one but the price is good. Did not find the video. My concern is that it looks to me like the guns ride high on a three wheel cart and so I question the stability on turns. Love my four wheel cart but would love to see one of these in action in so I can recommend it to others.
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 That's truly nothing but a baby stroller that you can get used for almost nothing. Add a little wood and hardware and yer done. But...if you don't have any mechanical ability...buy it. Phantom
Sixgun Seamus Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 Agree with Phantom. We have a used baby stroller with almost the identical frame as the one you posted. It is now a 4 gun cart that we have used for more than 8 years. I think I have $40 invested in it. I bought a second stroller for $5 as a backup but never needed it. Get creative.
Flanigan Flats Posted September 21, 2024 Posted September 21, 2024 Can Phantom and Sixgun post up some detailed pics of their carts for the OP?

The stool legs go into the PVC fittings mounted on the frame near the wheels.

Buffalo gus Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 Started off as a bob stroller from Facebook marketplace and added some wood and a few hangers. Might have 50-60 dollars in the whole set up. Could use alittle more storage but it works well.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 It always amazes me that people will spend $1,500+ for a tuned rifle. $2,000+ for a tuned pair of pistols. $1,200+ for a tuned shotgun. $600+ for leather and then want to put it into a $40 cart that makes them look like refugees from a gypsy camp. Have some pride! Even if you can't shoot good you can look good.
Sam Sackett Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 Some of us can’t look good even after spending all that moola. Then realize “What the He77. It’s just a game.” We’re here to have fun, not to see how much we can invest. I for one see my character as being one who may have been underprivileged growing up and now just trying to exist. We all have our own reasons for being here. Some have the monies to spend and that’s great. But I believe there are many more that don’t want to spend more than we have to.. Sorry for the rant…… Sam Sackett

Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Howdy fellers, I made my first gun cart from a $3 tag sale golf bag cart, a picnic basket and scrap wood. It worked just fine as a 2 gun cart for years. Then when I wanted a 4 gun setup, I took the wheels and axle off a stroller and attached them to an actual Israeli Uzi wood shipping crate. Added a divider, lid and upright handle. It has also stood up for years. (the importers of Uzis were a client of mine long ago.) One can buy any number of carts from the "Baby Stroller" style up to the gorgeous examples like those of Yul Lose; although many like myself prefer the pride of creating something unique that is designed to specifically meet our needs. Admittedly, it may take a few tries to get a "perfected" model. To each his and/or her own, Rev. Chase

Have some pride! Even if you can't shoot good you can look good. i started this game on the cheap - i didnt have a lot of disposable dollars those days as i had kids in college , but yes ias time went by i was free to invest more , ive been very careful of what i bought tho , i have invested a lot[for me] in guns for the game over the years , that does not negate being frivolous or frugal in all other areas like clothing and guncarts , i spent where i wanted and needed to not where my ego might drive me to , in recent years ive invested more in some items that i dont need but wanted like chaps , im happy with where ive spent and content with where ive not spent - the gun cart thats always been my adventure to cheap and efficient , a project in motion , mine started as an effeicient 3-gun cart and became the SASS cart after that so maybe that has something to do with it as well , i like my builds for the purpose , im not investine 300-700 bucks on something i already have - besides the projects to improve are the most fun ive had because there is no time line , its my time
Sam Sackett Posted October 6, 2024 Posted October 6, 2024 I picked up a jogging stroller from the side of the road a while back. I’m experimenting on how to best set it up as a gun cart. It’s a work in progress, but very useable. I’ll keep adapting as I go, but pretty pleased so far. Let me know if you see any improvements I can make. I suggest it’s a very good way to get an economical gun cart. Sam Sackett
Geronimo Jim SASS # 21775 Posted October 6, 2024 Posted October 6, 2024 Strollers are for babies. Real cowboys use wooden carts.....just like in the old west. But I do have to say, after 25 years, it is getting heavier every year.
Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted October 6, 2024 Posted October 6, 2024 Howdy Geronimo, You're supposed to load up the cart after you take it out of the truck. Rev. Chase
