DIY Brass catcher for AR.
-
Just spied something on the Laundry room floor.
Saw something else hanging on the bedroom closet door handle.
15 minute project. Two snips of the metal and a few bends later.
It fits but does it work? Update after lunchtime here.
I try not to shoot on Sunday until Noon as a courtesy to the neighbors.

I am looking for a large Crown Royal bag next.
Maybe not range appropriate mixing alcohol and guns.The felt or cotton canvas would resist the heat better.
-
Yeah I was going to say, that fabric isn't going to take the heat of the casings.
-
It works.

@hypo no melting fabric?
A brass catcher sure is nice isn't it.
-
The brass isn't that hot coming out of the 20" barrel and it was a lighter 25 grain loads. Outside temp was in the mid 30's. The CFE223 is pretty clean. I will post pics of the brass later.
Can't tell about accuracy until I get better with the sling or use a bag or bipod. Needs rail covers.
-
I melt the caldwell catcher with my AR using CFE223...but I am running a 7.5" barrel and pistol length gas system. LOL.
-
When I went to dump it only two cases were stuck at the case mouths,
They pulled free easily. That stain is more oil than soot.
I have some aluminum tape about 2 inches wide for repairs. I will sandwich the holes when they start to form.
Probably need to put some over the soot area right away or the entire top 2 inches for sure.
