Looks very nice.

I've been using the rigged rail ladder deflector as well after the UTG bag style catcher caused more problems than it solved (thing just wouldn't stay open since it winds up hanging horizontally and pinching itself shut). It's been working pretty damn well so far, but I might have to order one of these anyway if you've still got some around next paycheck.

Any thoughts on potentially adding a vertically hanging removable bag as an option in the future?

Is the shield aluminum? I could probably just go MacGyver w/ one of your mounts, the bag I've got, and some brackets if I thought I'd have any luck tapping the shield piece to take a couple of thumb screws but I'm betting I'd just wind up screwing it up.

Original post has been updated with a top down picture, 3rd from the top, showing how far out the Brass Deflector is from the side of the rifle.

Forgot to mention the Shield and Picatinny Mount are made from 6061 Aluminum and hard coat anodized black.


I only have 3 left in stock. Once those are gone it will be 2-3 weeks before I have more in stock

It may be possible to rig up some kind of bag around the Shield. I may consider coming out with my own bag but that project would go into the back of the line behind the latches and charging handle and a few other things I am working on.

I would not recommend using my Brass Deflector on an AR15. I have not tried it, but I can tell that there will not be enough clearance between the shield and the upper receiver for the larger shell to fully eject.

Thanks. It's something I can still use on my 15-22 and play with on it's larger brother.

Brass Deflectors are out of stock, I should have more in a couple of weeks. All orders are boxed up and ready to be dropped off at the post office. You should receive an email from stamps.com with a tracking number soon. Sometimes it take a day or 2 for their system to send out the email. Everyone should be receiving their orders by the end of next week.

I hope everyone likes the Brass Deflector, and I look forward to hearing your input about them. If you are not happy with it let me know and I will get you taken care of.

I really like this deflector but I think it might be a slight problem for lefties. Right now the casings eject over my right arm. This deflector seems like it would drop every casing right down on my arm. Quite a nuisance. But if it did have a casing bag catcher I could see the benefits of the deflector dropping casings into a bag between my right arm and the gun.

Thoughts?

Looks well made from the pics. I dig that it is fully 6061. Nice job!

Do you position your arm right up against the magazine? The brass will drop straight down from the ejection port, so unless your arm is right below it, you should be fine. If you grip your magazine well, then you might have an issue.

I do both. Sometimes grip the magazine, sometimes a forend grip.

Any lefty that grips the magazine would have the casings drop down on their wrist/forearm, but with a bag to catch the casings it would be easily resolved...I think.

awsome worke, now just waiting for your Charging handle and latch

 

[JaPes]

Dang. I got in late on this thread. I'll order one. Do you accept backorders?

 

[Brett248Vista]

Great work SWS! If I was a "Leftie" I wouldn't shoot my rifle without this!

 

[Chris Puza]

Same here -- just tried to order one -- too late. Would like one of the next batch. Let me know what I need to do...

If you primarily use the magwell for a grip then this product is not going to work for you. I may look into making a brass catcher but that would be a ways down the road as I have several other projects I am working on right now.

If anyone would like to get on a mailing list for this you can send an email to this address, and once they are available again I will send out and email.

I understand. You have the makings of a very nice product. Keep up the good work.
