akastormi 617 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I guess I've never had a need for a range buggy. I believe in range buddies. Conscripting friends to carry the burden in exchange for trigger time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Conscript 99 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 If it's SP, you have to have purple black-out-drive lights. Maybe some molle webbing or screw on rails, and a tiny roll of camo netting with 3ft poles hahahahahahaha. Wife: Honey I think it's time we head back for dinner. You: Ma'am yes Ma'am!

Lone Eagle 839 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Now you've given me an idea. I got one of these from work before we scrapped the line. http://youtu.be/frZtlEr8ugc 24V powered, rated to carry 150lbs, and can be used powered or push. I was going to make the Mrs a garden cart, but she bought one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 . tried play that video but embedding was disabled by request, a link will work though. http://youtu.be/frZtlEr8ugc that would definitely be the ultimate cool range cart, self-propelled version and it folds up. . why did they scrap that line?

Lone Eagle 839 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Electronic issues. Kept burning out the speed control circuits, so I bypassed the control circuit with a rheostat and set it to the midpoint. When the board finally smokes, I can rip the motor off and use it as a regular cart. We still carry the non-motorized version called the Micro-cart. Thanks for the link to the vid. Didn't realize it was embed disabled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) I posted my range cart on another gun board. and a few people were interested to know what it will carry, so, I figured some inquiring minds here would also be interested as well, so here is what I put it in. the rifles are L to R, PPS43, SAIGA 12 SG, G-3, AR15 from the corner left to right; 70 round PPS43 drum (made by me ) and 2 PPS43 stick mags 3- G-3 mags 3- 20 round M16 mags 1-SAIGA 12 10 round mag. 20 round SAIGA-12 drum (modified by me to load from the back ) 2nd row 280 rounds of 7.62x25 200 rounds .308 ammo on strippers with .308 loader 200 rounds 5.56 on stripper with 5.56 loader 70 rounds of 12ga 4 empty ammo cans, to put ammo in 3rd row 4X IOR scope and 4x ACOG spotting scope 4 bags for benching shooting. empty bag to put mags in tool box here it is all loaded; Edited July 20, 2013 by Matthew Hopkins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I like it, especially if you can transport it to and from the range without unloading everything out of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
