Mike Bell Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Started mine today and still need to find a shelf or something to hold up a range bag, tool box or ammo can..... headed to wally world now to find something. So far I have about $80 in it. Edited December 21, 2013 by Mike Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEP44 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The gun racks came off Ebay last year, but couldn't really use 'm due to the pointing up or down rule. I recycled an old telescopic broom stick and removed the internal twist lock. Simply clamped the wider tube in the corner and insert the smaller tube with the gun rack when needed. Bolt and wing nut keep it from twisting. On the other side of the cart I mounted a Rubbermaid Fast Track rail. The attachments simply click on and I use it for my chair (Got bad knees, so I need my chair) By hanging the chair "overboard" the dirt and sand from the legs no longer spread to the gear in the cart.

slymantis Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 thanks for the pics.going to have to build me one of these. lugging around guns in cases is getting tiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langenator Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Picked up a stroller for $20 off CL. Debating whether to put a single gun holders on each side (looks like they run $30-35 per set) or a double on one side ($60) and try to rig some sort of chair holder on the other side. I actually already have a Harbor Freight garden wagon that I've used, but I find it kind of a pain. Especially since I'm taller than average, I tend to lift the front wheels off the ground when pulling, especially if I don't load it right.

CarRacer Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Completed everything except the long mounts on my cart. I'm undecided on if I'm going to weld some together on my own or just save the hours of building and just buy some atv mounts. The cart was purchased for $12 (delivered!) on craigslist. Everything is in good shape aside from one rear tire needing a new inner tube. The cart frame is aluminum so I decided to build ammo can mounts for ballast to prevent the cart from tipping over on rough or uneven terrain. I was worried about bending or breaking the mounts when the full cans would jostle but I filled them with weights in the shop and both were stable. If I purchased mounts, what do you recommend for a cost effective solution for a rifle and shotgun? I see these kolpin mounts mentioned , are those a good option? Thanks.

Mark R Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If you go koplin, make sure you spend the extra money and get the ones that rotate in multiple directions. The first ones I got only clamped on and that limits the mounting locations. With swivel and pivot capabilities, you have a lot more mounting location options. FWIW.

stevejness Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I used these on mine, and the offset allowed me to keep the folding canopy working. http://www.amazon.com/Kolpin-21500-Rhino-Grip-Single/dp/B001Q4QO2C/ref=lp_404646011_1_3?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1390077364&sr=1-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshxdm9 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well shot first 3gun match last year and lugged all the stuff around and it was a pain in the butt. I told the guy I shoot with that I was not going to do that again and I was going to build a cart for next year. He gave me a little grief and said I better not. So when I finished this he was the first one I sent a picture to. Already had the cart from having kids so found mounts on amazon with free shipping 40.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDPANDA Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Great ideas in this thread, going to start searching for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I finished my new cart this weekend. Picked up the jogging stroller off craigslist for $40. Got home with it to find it was purpose built for 3 gun carts. Child seat reclines completely flat. It has an adjustable foot rest that can be adjusted vertically to hold everything in. Brand is BeBe Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarRacer Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Ended up building my own mounts but used plumbing standoffs to attach my welded gun mounts to the cart tubing. It ended up being really easy and the plumbing parts were only $7 for 6 of them from Home Depot. I'm pretty sure I'm less than $40 into this cart.

jonny4523 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Has anyone tried one of these yet? Seems ideal for our sport. Folds up nice and flat with a lot of cargo room. I bought one but haven't figured out how I want to rig it up yet. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/folding-wagon/prod3080161.ip?navAction= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one but haven't figured out how I want to rig it up yet. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/folding-wagon/prod3080161.ip?navAction= That's what I use now.. works nicely. It's really light. I leave my long guns in a drag bag, just set it them on top. Take that off, and pick up the whole thing and put into the car if I drive to a further bay The wheels are a little small if you have to bring it through high loose gravel It's even got cup holders Been thinking of adding a little bracket to the back, where I could hang stuff like a chair, etc..

jonny4523 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm trying to get creative in a way to mount the guns. I'll post what I come up with. But I'm also trying to keep it modular. The easy way to put racks on the sides, but I don't like the idea of flagging everyone walking behind the cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkyle72 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) So this cart is a work in progress, dont think im going to paint it because I dont really care that it is blue but you never know. Next winter if I have some down time I might.... Got the cart used for $30, the mounts were another $30 and I think im going to get another set of clamps for the muzzle side next time I got to sportsmans. I had the PVC laying around so I tried it and some times they shift and its a PITA. I just added this ammo caddy because at matches I was always digging around my range bag looking for ammo. and I put an umbrella stand in there gets 100+ here in nor cal in the summer This is version 1 and im prob gonna redo it a little better but i think it will work for now. I also just started using my camping bag for my range bag. It seems like It has more compartments then my range bag and I like the bottom section that is seperate from the rest of the backpack. Its kind of like the bag from double alpha. It can easily hold, 300 pistol, 100 bird/buck, have a box of 15 slugs and 200 rifle rounds in there. umbrella 40 cal air caps little compartment in the middle holds my magluas perfect Edited March 16, 2014 by bigkyle72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkyle72 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I made the bullet box for .40 cal but I have a spacer that fits in so I can use 9mm ammo boxes and they wont jump around Heres my range back pack.... going to add some sort of loading table on the top of this as well. Anyone use the existing holes from the sun shade and build off that? going to mold some ABS plastic around the bottom compartment to protect the contents from whatever is in the top Edited March 16, 2014 by bigkyle72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson923 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 bigkyle72 will you please post a picture of the PVC tube that houses the barrel's, looking to see how you have it attached. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkyle72 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yup, here you go, just zip tied them on I put some soft material I'm there to pad it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishnHuntIN Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Picked this cart up for free from my boss, $60 in mounts, $20 buck in new tire tubes (cart is about 10 yrs old), and i'm ready to rock. Looking forward to not carrying 3 cases around next weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmillios Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 For those of you that were envious of some of the strollers having built-in drink holders: http://www.amazon.com/beverage-universal-attached-wheelchairs-walkers/dp/B0062BU3J4/ref=sr_1_2?tag=ohmy0c-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
