Tell me about your guncart

[Big Hext Finnigan]

Yeah.. after you sweat and struggle and make something really nice, ya hate to limit it's use.

The design challenge I'm working through right now is the SxS.  It needs to be broken open in the cart, but not in the rack... I've got a few ideas, but it may take actual tinkering to make it work.

Adios,

[L.G.]

  Hext, just make the butt slot long enough to support the shotgun in either configuration, that should solve your problem.

[SGT John Chapman]

I'd make the rack itself so it fit all the guns closed,........ then make an extension of the rack that stayed on the cart, so you can open the double/s....................

Hola Jefe..
Are these both your carts?  Heck of a paint job on the Stars and Stripes!

Howdy deputy!
Nope, they are not mine. These pics were taken by Mr. Quigley. If anyone can idendify the persons, let us know.
I haven't got around to get a guncart after I landed on US soil.

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.

My cart is a Cal-Graf Simple in Pine that I finished myself.

I've an replica of Ford's 1893 Quadracycle w/ a rack for Longarms, w/ storage for ammo & sundry items.

My gun cart stands 14.3 hands, is a pure six year old dark Charcoal colored Wyoming Mustang (almost a black mottled coat) named McGregor (got him from a BLM sale when he was about two). You can see the Spanish Barb in this horse he has a dished face like an Arabian. I don't worry about bigger wheels to make it easier for him to get around on, just new shoes every once in a while. Best mounted shooting horse I've ridden at this point in time. Carries all the guns and ammo I need and no, I didn't make him, GOD DID (Kitchi Manido). He loves people and he likes to go fast. I'll post a picture of him here next week some time, real Indian horse.

It's a dandy of a guncart, it was my winter 03-04 shop project.
This winter seems to be remodeling the master(s) bathroom.

Well here is a photo of my latest Cart.

It is a Cactus Cris Special. Cap and Ball Special that is, and I FLAT LOVE IT

P.S. Cactus has made 2 of my carts and they are first rate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does Cactus Cris have a web site?

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.

Hext,  take a look at our cart:

http://kimandbarrymckenzie.com/Gun_cart/

The "rack" is detachable.  Notice the six clevis pins that hold it in place.  Three on each side.... one attaches the bottom of the rack to the cart body, one attaches the brace to the rack, and one attaches the brace to the cart body.

Pull the six pins and the rack and braces lay nicely in the cart... after you rearrange all of the other junk that's in it. 

But... to the matter of a SxS, you can see by the cutouts for the long-gun muzzles that I haddn't planned on a sojourn into classic cowpoke when the cart was made. 

I haddn't thought of also using the rack as a wall rack... but now that you mention it, it does kinda look like one of the rifle racks in the sheriffs offices of the old west. 

[El Peludo]

Mine is made on a garden wagon chassis.  Its heavy, and a lot bigger than most, but it has a (always) vertical gun rack for six long guns, a place to carry my cooler (a necessity), and a large possibles box that doubles as a seat.  The rack provides a back rest for the seat.  I could quite easily add an umbrella holder.  And, with the tires fully inflated, it pulls or pushes fairly easily; that's important, too.

[Bar Stool Billy]

I finished mine yesterday. I used the Gunslinger plans that are floating around the wire and went from there. I wanted the box to come off and I made a few other changes.

[Wes Virginian]

I built one several years ago  and early this month I bought an "Off The Wall" cart from Gunther Cartright. Expensive but very nice..

[litl rooster]

could have bought one for less than I built my own

still need to build a box and wire the GPS and lap top in

[Singing Bear]

Mine's a cross between Barstool and Rooster.  Handmade, simple and inexpensive.  Holds 4 long guns and a cooler for a seat.  Has a small chest with 2 drawers to hold ammo and a small box at the top for my coffee.   Was made with cheap 1x6 pine.  Light and functional.

My next is going to be more exotic.  Basically the same design, but made with koa.  Wheels are used 16" wooden spoked pneumatic wheels with standard 1/2" roller bearing hubs.  Came off an old miniature car.  Needs sanding, painting and staining, but will look pretty cool.  Heavier components but will be smaller. 

[The Arapaho Kid]

I had to go cheap and simple!  I drive a 73 Volkswagen Bug and there's no trailer hitch on the back, so my gun cart has to be able to fold up and fit in the back seat.  This one was about 45 bucks out the door.  It holds my rifle, scattergun and my Winchester ammo box.  I made some coathanger wire hangers and I hang my tomahawk, whip and canteen, or my two liter wooden water barrel on the outside.  It ain't fancy....but it works!

[B. Butch Cavendish]

 Mine looks alot like M.D,'s except it not painted red. It's pine, holds 5, with a umbrella, the seat with pillow are cowhide, and it has the sass logo with my name and no. on the front box.  I have my untl. BC in gold near the handle, and a couple hook. I for my leather cowboy canteen,, the other for a Medicine bag I use for brass. I put extra stuff in a pair of saddle bags with conchos. It's a very cool ride.

Somewhere there's a little old lady missing her walker/shopping cart.  (just kidding)

[Lee Melone]

Here's me new one.  The outhouse was a bit big.

The woman in the picture is Rose N' Dmorn  Wife of Tuolumme Tweed  and the Cart IS Cash Dollars.

Here's Mine.  It accomodates Four shooters.  The longarm rack is on a lazy susan and holds 12 longarms.  The big box is seperated into four compartments.  The rear box is a wooden cooler we built.  It's a heavy S. * B. but it does turn heads.  Me and Modern Day Cowboy built it and won EOT cart of the year 2004.

[Irish Red O'Toole]

Here's one that was built for me by Pat Riot.  I painted and varnished it.  A friend did the fancy decorations.
