Here are some photo's of a brass catcher I built for my CAR-15.
*The mag bracket is 3/4" cabinet grade plywood.
*Drilled & tapped for a 1/4-20 Nylon clamp bolt.
*Wire frame is 1/8" music wire.
*Cage is black plastic hail screen attached with small cable ties.
It will fit any size AR15/M16 mag and is changed or dumped by simply loosening the clamp bolt a 1/2 turn or so and slipping it off.
Total cost = $0.00 because I already had all the parts in my Junque collection.
For a pistol brass catcher, I scrounged a huge
beer advertising umbrella from my favorite Mexican restaurant. The beer vendor replaced all of them with new advertising umbrellas, and I snagged one of the old ones for free.
Just figure out where the brass is landing and lay the open patio umbrella upside down in the spot.
When you get done, dump the brass in a bag or bucket, and fold the umbrella for the trip home. Takes all of 30 seconds!
