REDHORSE Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Now that is a sweet cart! Is that the welding cart from Harbor Freight? Yes it's the same cart. Harbor Freight Welding Cart link Whomever assembled the cart for the HF picture, installed the tray backwards. It's supposed to hang from behind the handle. The way they have it mounted, blocks you from putting two welding tanks into the cart. lol A picture of outerlimits HF welding cart. He has the tray installed correctly. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...ost&id=6325 I just mounted the swivel tray a foot higher on the handle and painted it. Makes getting the items in the tray easier and give me more access to the items in the back of the wooden box. I changed all the hardware and improved on a few things. The wheel bearing are very loose on the axle. So, I shimmed them and also used a spacer, greased the bearing... so the wheels work properly (don't wobble on the axle) and they are silently now.

STSCS Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Wow I thought I had the only one. I made this last year out of the Harbor Freight Welding cart. It holds 2 shotguns and 2 rifles plus 2 bags (1 with pistol stuff and 1 with rifle) The drop door at the bottom holds the cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustdevil21 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Well Since we have wandered off of the original post, I will post my cart I just finished up tonight. I started out with one of those Muck carts but didn't like the outcome so I changed to this final product. It is an $80 wagon that will hold 800 lbs., if I was able to do my own welding I could have saved some money in the end. I have room for my pistol bag, another bag for rifle/shotgun ammo, a small cooler, and a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Bruce Kelly at Rugged Gear is truly a class act. He's been an eager match sponsor for various Georgia and Area 6 matches the past several years. This year for Area 6, he sent 2 carts: one for the match and one to do with as we like (!). The second one will probably end up at the GA 3-Gun or Area 6 3-Gun. So those of you out there buying baby carriages and refitting them, you might at least buy Bruce's gun holders (http://ruggedgear.com/atv.php and support a great shooting sponsor.

freeidaho Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Here is another homemade 3-gun cart. It is almost finished, just have two more aluminum pieces to add. Go to http://www.parmarng.org/freeidaho/default.html and on the second screen all the way to the bottom on the left is the link. Your Thoughts?

I found it at the True Value Store here at home, But you can find them through northerntool.com. Just some 1" square tubing to span the sides. 5/8" heater hose attached with some self-tapping screws is what holds the barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STSCS Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I've read somewhere that some matches require the muzzle be carried vertical. I was wondering if anyone has goten a bad time with those horizontal carts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgcchkn Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Well I don't have enough time to build my own and don't see any prebuilt designs that are equal to or better than the rugged gear cart, so I guess I'm going with that one.

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I've read somewhere that some matches require the muzzle be carried vertical. I was wondering if anyone has goten a bad time with those horizontal carts. I'd like to know that too. I shot a three gun recently and asked before I went. I quoted the USPSA rule and was allowed but I can see someone getting nervous. US5.2.1.4 Carried in a slip or case (it is preferred that the rifle is carried reasonably vertical). Alternatively, the rifle may be transported or stored without a slip or case, whether or not reasonably vertical, in a mobile rack or carrier, provided the firearm complies with Rule 5.2.1.5 and is only placed or removed under the supervision of a Range Officer, or while in a Safety Area, or when being transferred directly to/from a stationary rack as described in Rule 5.2.1.3. 5.2.1.5 Competitors must use a chamber safety flag, or device, that is clearly visible externally to the gun, at all times when the rifle is not in use (except whilst carrying out the activities permitted under Rule 2.4.1).

Thanks for checking that out, but it does kind of leave things open. I guess you could insert a flag safety in the chamber after you're done with the stage and then put it in the cart like the one Dustdevil21 has designed.?

Unload show clear. lock it open, insert the Arredondo flag in the mag well. Again, I am not an experienced competitor. This is just what has worked for me so far.

rvb Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Just finished putting a long-gun rack on my gun cart.... usually my shooting buddy and I both pile our gear on the cart, so it'll hold 6 long guns. The rack comes off with a couple wing nuts and even folds up for storage space in the shed. Took $15 and about an hours worth of work to build. rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman711 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I love my Rugged Gear Cart. It works really well, breaks down for easy storage and transporting back and forth to the range, and as stated previously they support our sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 The problem with a cart that holds > 2 log guns is that your buddies pile on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Not really a problem. I run a similar cart. Buddies that want to pile on "pay" for the space by pulling the cart. At most matches I never pull the cart for the whole match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
