Greetings All,
I was at the range today making sure my rifles are all dialed in for coyote hunting. While there I seen someones home made brass deflector that was working like a charm. Besides the brass deflector, he laid a towel down on the concrete bench to prevent brass from rolling off. He said that it throws the brass in a nice little group. Well, I like to make things and thought I'd try it. It was super easy and involves only some inner tube rubber. I just got done doing this so I haven't had time to test them out. The guys said he very rarely gets a jam. I hope he's right.
Here is the left side of the rifle where the thumb screws are to secure the back sight. Simply get the inner tube to grab these screws. I cut a slot in the rubber and slipped it over.
Here's the right side of the same rifle. I think the distance the brass gets thrown will be in direct relation to how far the inner tube hangs down. Shorter and it will go farther, just a hunch. But if I get any jams, cutting it shorter will be the first thing I do.
On a different rifle the nuts are on the right side so I just cut a couple slots in the rubber and slid it over. If these things work and it saves me from loosing brass and time picking up brass thats 10 feet away then it was worth it.
Thanks for lookin' & good luck /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
