Working up loads and catching brass (AR)

[jmorris]

Working up loads on a non .223 AR recently in the rain and cold, I decided that it would be nice to have a brass catcher for the rifle and bought a $7 one that worked but not the best mounting system, so another $10 for a QD mount off of eBay and a 3/8 strip of 1/8" steel and I had found a use for a section of the rail and a brass catcher that mounts and unmounts quickly and is always lined up with the ejection port.

The only brass catcher I've ever used that works without becoming a bother is the ground.

Nice!

I've got one similar to that but it doesn't get used a whole lot. When it starts to get full and heavy it sags a bit and can cause jams. If you are only shooting off the bench with it for development to catch brass and keep them sorted for later, they work fine.

These do not interfere with the process as much.

I cant post a picture but you can take a rag and stuff it between the scope mount rings so that the rag hangs over the ejection port of the rifle. It will catch the brass and drop it in a pile. Another option is a ball cap: run the front of the scope through the adjustment look in the back of the hat and pull the bill over the ejection port.
