well, i finally finished my brass catcher project...

i wanted one that didn't suck. more specifically, one that i could attach to a picatinny rail instead of hanging off the top, and a mesh bag instead of a plastic box, etc.

This pic shows it by itself.

This one shows it enhancing the E on a BR

It also fits my AR15 pretty well, too.

It's made out of 1/4" steel rod, welded to a 1/4" steel bar and powder coated. The bag is a nylon mesh attached with a triple stitch and bias tape, and the bottom is velcro, so you can dump the brass w/o throwing the lever. All that is screwed to an A.R.M.S #17s throw lever. very, very sturdy. easy to remove.

This closeup shows the top-down view so you can see the space between the ejection port and the brass catcher.
 
Looks good! :) I have really basic deal - sorta elastic wrist band, ''bendable'' wire and a cloth catch bag. Works OK but always hard to keep adjusted.

Only prob I might see with yours is - it is somewhat ''dedicated'' - to one platform. Sure looks sweet tho.

Guess in the end .. I'll still finish up grovelling in the dirt :D
 
put about 225 rounds through it today w/o any malfunctions. p95, not sure what you mean by dedicated. it fits well on just about any rifle with a picatinny forearm rail. it's hard to buy an AR w/o one these days.
 
Point taken re fit on available rail ... in fact what I meant with my rather primitive one is - it is, once adjusted, suitable for about anything ... handgun, rifle, whatever. But being ''worn'' on wrist is clumsy and hard to set up. Does tho on occasions prove very useful.

Gets used most I reckon for semi handguns .. .45 particularly - I keep brass!
