I bought this cart through another pard that was selling it for a friend that decided to get out of CAS and concentrate on skete instead.  His loss - muh gain.

Bought it and the umbrella for only $100.00.


This here is the front view...nothing spectacular...solid wood construction with very little plywood used except for some trim.  The barrel holders were already trimmed in leather for protecting rifles and shotguns.  I added the snap holder strips to keep 'em in place while on the move.


The side view shows that the wheels are solid rubber...no flats on this rig this time!  You'll also notice a couple of brass looking handles sticking up  - those are my cleaning rods made of wood that I made some time back.  They also double for clearing the barrels when I forget to load some powder in the cylinders.  I also, have a long rod for the rifles as well.


The holding area of the bottom box has plenty of room, for all my pistols and accessories plus some for my cleaning supplies.  I'll later arrange some slots for the pistols to ride without being bounced around.


The top box holds all the ammunition I'll need for a two day shoot minimum plus some side matches, too.  Also, has plenty of room left over for carrying a few of my accourments, such as pocket watch, match safe, tobacco & paper, and like items as well.

So, all in all I got a great deal and bargain here and have made it my Main Match cart.  Still fits fairly easily into the Explorer, although I need to convert it into a Take-Down instead of a one-piece that it is now.  But, that's another project for another free weekend...when-ever that may be...

Thanky kindly, Camille!

The only real problem I have...is that it's a little tough sometimes to decipher from the rest of the herd for when they sometimes get bunched up.  Gonna hav'ta put a special brand on it to cut it out quickly in the future.

It does look alot like others, so I'm gonna hav'ta "Presidio" it some.
