Hola Jefe..
Are these both your carts? Heck of a paint job on the Stars and Stripes!
Nice piece of furniture there, TB!Great idea!
I've been thinking about designing (another ;)) cart, one with a removable rifle rack that can be put into a bracket mounted on a wall, so it can be used as both cart and display. Still playing with the idea.
Adios,
The gent is Sheriff E M Horton, SASS 757, and a member of The Cowboys. Not sure who the woman is, but Cash Dollar also has a cart like hers.QuoteHola Jefe..Howdy deputy!

I haven't got around to get a guncart after I landed on US soil.

When I was a kid, Mechanics Illustrated had plans for a scale ‘03 curved dash Oldsmobile. Really like to convert them plans o’er to electric motivation ‘n make a gun cart outtah the thing. I’d have ta have a trailer to take it places but that ain’t difficult ta come by.
Pipe dreams…
Happy ta hear someone else remembers it, Jack. Startin’ ta think I might have just dreamed it. Would be a unique cart.
Very Mobile, I travel lite like a cowboy, built her myself from a picture of an Off The Wall design and a couple a Rolans ideas and a little engineerin on my part

Nice, Daniel. Guns vertical, no lookin' down the barrels. I like that. Three wheeler for stability. Another plus. Is that a hand break I see? I'm always runnin' late, so maybe that's a good feature for me to consider!
I like any of the carts that allow one to sit. Can you rest a spell on the rack in the front? My legs really hurt by the end of the day from standing.

Hey Everybody....
I have been thinking of a cart and wanted to make a cedar coffin. Thought of making a poplar frame and covering it with cedar closet lining.
The thing that is bugging me up is how to put wheels into it, with the narrower size of the base the only way I can think of is to have an axle housing sticking way out the sides of the bottom or the back side.
Can anyone give some advise on this ?
I figure it will have to be at least 15 to 16 inches at the base, flare out with shelf's at the wide part then taper back down toward the top to the first measurement. I thought of putting lips on the shelf's for ammo storage
I think some tung oil or danish oil rubbed in would make the color or the wood just pop out at ya!
I would have already started on this but being in the army all my tools are in the storage unit, so that has a big affect on what I make!!

The above photos shows a slightly different type of gun cart. Wife and I needed a cart that would haul the most in the lightest weight cart we could find. To roll over pea gravel easily a three wheel cart was chosen. The entire cart is made from quarter inch plywood. Bought the baby stroller from Goodwill for $15. Had to put on new heavy duty tires, heavy duty tubes, tire liners, and green slime to allow it to be pushed around the cactus in the desert. My son has built another cart using this cart as a model. The photos show a foam core mockup I had to make to get all the angles correct.
Just finished my first guncart. It has a removable ammo box and breaks down for transport. And it doesn't take 3 men and a boy to load it in the car after a match. :P
Just finished building my guncart this weekend. Thought you might get a kick out of it.
I purchased it at EOT in 2006. It has my cattle brands burned into it along with barbed wire on the handles and my sons and my aliases on the top of the ammo box. I added umbrella supports, a handle bar for oulling it up inclines and modified the gun stands to support my 10 gauge double and my .50-140 Sharps "Old Reliable". It also has an upper box for glasses, ear aids, Balliatol, etc. and a holder for a cooler. I added extra large wheels to make it easier for this Cattle Baron to haul it around. It comes completely apart for traveling. My
The only problem is, occasionally, a pack rat will eat the leather laces that is extra security for my long guns. :-(
Where are you guys buying the WHEELS for the carts?These old so called "goat carts" come with wooden wheels as seen in my pics. Gotta watch out anymore, some of the running gear/bodies on these carts are pretty tough condition. Used to get them pretty cheap when the Berlin Wall came down, but now they are much more costly than they used to be. They can be found at antique shows in the $200-$250 range. Dont know where the fellers are getting the wheels for the carts that they are building themselves but a search on Amazon brings some up @ $90 (+ or -) apiece.
Thanks!
Outstanding!
(Perhaps a team of good sled dogs would make it easier to move around ... ? ;D )
Now you need a "faux NWMP Model 1876 Winchester" chambered in a pistol caliber for CAS, like the one I had made up on a Model 1873 action in .45 Colt -

Time for a maker to offer a repro .44-40 '73 'Spanish Contract' model. I'd be in for one.
I agree. That is pretty interesting. I'm not familiar with those. Am I seeing a brass magazine tube and a different shape to the top of the receiver (no dust cover too)?

Early 1873's did not have the dust cover, yet.
